Celine Dion Shamed Over Water Usage 5/26/08

Canadian singer Celine Dion has been named and shamed by water authorities in Florida after she used over 6.5 million gallons (29.5 million liters) at her home in the state.

The figure - enough to fill a large bathtub every four minutes - was taken from her utility bill records for last year (07) for her Marin County, Florida home.

It is the highest figure for a residential property in the U.S. Most family homes in the area use just 120,000 gallons (550,000 liters) over a year. Golf ace Tiger Woods was also named as a major drain on water supplies in the state, with the sportsman's Miami, Florida estate using 3.7 million gallons (16.8 million liters) in a year.
