Here are some interesting figures regarding household water usage:

• The average homeowner uses 168 gallons of water per day to do everything from flushing toilets to washing clothes in a home without high efficient washers.
   
• Toilets and faucets use about 1.5 gallons per minute.
   
• In many areas, the amount of water used for lawn care significantly raises drinking water consumption.

• Homes with high efficiency use substantially less per day (approximately 50-75 gallons).
   
• Ideally, individuals should not be using more than 5,040  gallons per month.
   
• A family of four will use about 20,000 gallons of water in a month in a standard home- with teenagers the number goes up.
