Celine Dion’s Florida Mansion Used 6.5 Million Gallons of Water in Two Years
May 31, 2008 · Print This Article
Celine Dion, despite being known for singing an incredibly annoying ubiquitous song for the blockbuster film that made Leonardo DiCaprio a household name, apparently hasn’t learned much from the actor. The Palm Beach Post checked out the Canadian diva’s water usage at her Jupiter, Florida home and what they found is astonishing. Over the past two years, 6.5 million gallons of water were used at the home. And that’s just one home of many she owns.
ABC News has it:
That’s nearly 18,000 gallons of water a day, about 100 times more than the 170-gallons-per-day the average resident uses every day, according to the Florida-based U.S. Water Institute. Dion’s annual water usage could fill more than 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
For the past few years, according to Graham, Florida, along with much of the southeast United States, has experienced a water shortage due to increased population and record-low rainfall. In addition to causing a spike in water prices, the drought has created a tug of water in the northern part of Florida with neighboring Georgia, over water from Georgia’s Lake Lanier.
“If we want to protect our ecosystem, we’re certainly going to have to be more careful,” Graham said. “Definitely, anything like 6 million gallons per year is way out there.”
When you think about it, it’s not all that surprising. She looks like the effing cryptkeeper. Maybe all of that water is necessary to keep her skin from collapsing in on itself. That, and the blood of 666 virgins. Seriously, this woman is the spawn of the devil. How else can you explain the fact that she’s so popular despite a tremulous voice that makes me want to hide under my bed when I hear it?

The over looked fact in this sad story is how often is she and her family there to enjoy all that wasted water?
the sad part is that…. you people ar e way to rude. pointing out a fact is one thing and stretching a fact is another. Celine Dion is the best selling female artist of all time. and if her voice makes you run and hide…. that’s your prolem…. cuz you must be the devil yourself. Find te facts , and don’t stress on opinions (”She looks like the effing cryptkeeper”)…… because she doesn’t .. and i am sure that there is a logical reason for the water usage. perhaps she fogot to turn of the hose , or the pool filler and went on vacatiom. and with her busy schedule there are somany possibilities. You know what…..You rock celine and never let rude people stop you in your tracks.
