Just looking at our water bill to see how we are doing compared to the average. I did a lot of water savings features over the last couple of years. We have a family of 11 and our usage for the previous month was 12,800 gallons. I’d say we are doing stellar. I’m pretty impressed.
How many gallons of water does a family use per month?
What is Average? The water industry estimates that an average person uses 3,000 gallons of water monthly, so a family of 4 would use 12,000 gallons for bathing, cooking, washing, recreation, and watering. But a lot of factors come into play when calculating average use.
