[quote=Anonymous]Well, since I'm a teacher, still home for this extended ice-break, I have had some time to hyperfocus on my water usage for some reason.

Never really paid attention to it before. We are charged twice on the water we use. Once, for water coming in, and then a large rate, for water going out to the sewer (they assume whatever water comes in goes out.)

So if we use under 80 gallons per day of water, the rate for 1000 gallons (water in, sewer out) comes to $17.05
If we use 166 -275 gallons per day, the rate for 1000 gallons will be $23.08.  (That's the rate I was at the past year).

I've been checking usage now daily and have gone from using 100 gallons a day down to 80 gallons per day (this is with no adult children in the house) and that's just by paying a little more attention to habits.

I have a spreadsheet to calculate how much I am spending daily on water+sewer.  It went from $1.93 per day to $1.54 per day.  (down from more like $4.00 last year)

So that is motivating!
