    Answer:
We drink very little of the millions of gallons of water that are treated every day for drinking. Generally speaking, less than 1% of the water produced by water treatment facilities is actually used for drinking. Though indoor water use statistics vary from family to family and around the country, they average out pretty reliably. Did you know that 26% of water used inside the home gets flushed down toilets; 20% is used in showers and baths; kitchen and bathroom faucets use 15%; cleaning and washing dishes consumes an additional 3%; the laundry room uses 23%; and leaks claim 13% of the water used in the home? Studies show that indoor water use can be reduced by almost 30% with water-efficient fixtures, dishwashers, and clothes washers. The Water-Efficient household uses 52 gallons of water per person, per day.

Conservation doesn't mean sacrifice, all it takes is common sense and thinking about conserving anytime you use water in bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and outdoor, etc.
