The Average Household Uses 300 Gallons of Water a Day

The average American household uses more than 300 gallons of water every day, much of it indoors and much of it unnecessary.

Find the biggest indoor uses first, since toilets, showers, and laundry account for the majority of home water.

Fix leaks and install aerators on faucets, because low-cost aerators cut flow without changing how the water feels.

Run the dishwasher and washing machine only when full, and a few small habits drop daily use fast.

Cutting even a fifth of that use saves real money and real water every single month.
