Water Intake at U.S. Sites – Absolute	Water Intake at U.S. Sites – Revenue Adjusted
Includes data from core metric sites, Bellevue, Wash.; Corporate Headquarters, Chicago, Ill.; Boeing Commercial Airplanes operations in Long Beach, Calif.; Seal Beach, Calif.; and West Hills, Calif. 1 U.S. gallon = approximately 3.79 liters. Data in the chart is normalized for divestitures by excluding Boeing Commercial Airplanes operations in Wichita (now Spirit AeroSystems) from 2002 to 2005. Boeing Defense, Space & Security’s Wichita operations are included in this data. 2008 data reflects reduced production as a result of a labor strike. Data for 2007-2009 has been adjusted to reflect additional intake from a previously unrecorded water meter in Auburn, Wash., as well as a billing error in Everett, Wash.
