💧 What is CCF in Water Units?

CCF stands for Centum Cubic Feet, a unit commonly used by water utilities to measure water consumption. Here’s what it means and how it works:

📏 Definition & Conversion

• CCF = 100 cubic feet of water
• 1 CCF = 748 gallons of water

The term “centum” comes from Latin, meaning “hundred,” so CCF literally translates to “hundred cubic feet.”

🧾 Why It’s Used

• Water bills often use CCF because it’s a standardized unit that simplifies large-volume measurements.
• It’s also used by natural gas utilities for similar reasons.

📊 Practical Example

If your water bill shows 10 CCF, that means you’ve used:

• 10 × 748 = 7,480 gallons of water during the billing period.
