People who get their water from town supply tend to use more water than those on tank water. One household's normal weekday water usage on town supply was 425.5 liters total, with most used in the kitchen and garden. By being more water conscious, such as taking shorter showers, using a brick in the toilet tank, and only running full loads of laundry, the same household was able to significantly reduce its water usage by 126.3 liters for the same time period. Simple changes in behavior can help conserve water.
