Daily Water Usage

20 gallons is my estimated use for one day. I am surprised to find that almost half of that is in showering. The other half is more evenly spread. Besides showering I have a miscellaneous category for brushing my teeth, toilet, sink, dishwasher, drinking, etc. The two categories are roughly half and half of 20 gallons per day, with my misc. category probably having a gallon ro two more use. I consider myslef as water conscious. I wash dishes directly after use if possible, conserve toilet water, turn off the sink as much as possible when shaving or brushing my teeth. I know the worst one for me is showers. The showers use 10 gallons or more per use, and I love being in the shower bacause it is refreshing. Even so, there is a price to pay for that, so I have to work on cutting down on shower time.
