average
Does anyone know what the average household water usage is per person in gallons or cubic feet? Please include all home washing.

gallons per person per day
A quick search yields a huge variety of answers:
63, 80, 90, 100, 151, 157, 200 gallons per person per day
these #'s come from municiple water companies around the usa. ave in England was only 43
some of the huge difference comes from outdoor watering and I suspect people who get there water from wells might have usage #'s very different from
those who have to PAY there water utility co for every gallon
you should contact the local water utility in your climate for a # that might be more accurate for the AZ area
Curious why you are interested in this?

Mostly because several customers have asked me. I do have one customer that is using 1100+ gallons per day with two people in the house. The pool is
not loosing water. The water feature is about 60' long and 15' wide at the wide part, has several hundred rocks to wick water and looses about 200
gallons a day. A 3HP pump feeds 3 separate water falls at the top pond. The water travels through three more ponds before falling into the swimming
pool. So far the customer is far more concerned about what his sprinkler system my be using than the water feature. We're watching the water meter
daily and turning things on and off to check it out.
