My water bill arrived last night, and I just opened it. The total isn't what scares me, oh no. What I really want to know is how the hell I managed to use 2,000 gallons in the span of 42 days! I mean, yes... I do enjoy taking long, hot showers but I can't account for forty-seven gallons per day with that!

All I can say to that is "wow."

Average bathrub holds aprox 100 gallons. A long shower will fill a bathtub about half-way full or thereabouts.

Each toilet flush is typically more than a gallon.

Washing dishes and leaving the water running uses a -lot- of water. Use a dishwasher or pre-fill the sink.

There's a lot of ways water can vanish. Also, if you have an in-ground sprinkler system -make sure the cutoff is activated- during the winter months.
