look at the gpm on the faucet opening ( where the areator is at the end) GPM stands for gallons per minute. you can calculate it and tell him just what an idiot he is!

None. The water went down the drain to either your septic system or the sewage treatment plant and it'll rejoin all it's water friends somewhere else in the water cycle. He wasted the time and energy it took to make it usable (if in a city water system), to pump it to his bathroom, and a whole lot of money if you're on a meter.

Normal water flow in a household plumbing system is around 1 to 2 gallons a minute.
Let's see:
16 hours times 60 minutes per hour times 2 gallons per minute is about 2,000 gallons.
Could have been worse.
It could have been the hot water.

Not enough info to give an answer. It depends on the size of the faucet and the water pressure in the line.

Is that why the town Duck pond is empty? About 7,000 gallons. Even a drip can lose 120 gal. a month.
