It is normal to use 5,000 gallons of water a month if you have more than one person in your house, take long showers, or if you water your lawn, wash your car etc.

Some people only use 2,000 gallons of water per month and people with more than one person in the house use 3,000 to 4,000 to 5000 gallons of water.

Water usage can go up in the summer months and decrease in the winter months.

If you're not using much water and your water usage suddenly goes up then it could be a faulty water meter or a water leak that could be under the ground that you cannot see or a running toilet.

Average gallons per day of water use ranges from 100 gallons to 150 gallons of water per day.

It is also normal to use 2000 gallons of water a month.

Average water use per month ranges between 2000 to 4000 gallons of water a month depending on how many people are in your home.

When I was living alone I would average around 1,500 to 2000 gallons of water usage a month but in the summer when I would water my lawn the water use would go up to 3,000 to 4,000 gallons per month.

Now that I'm married and have kids my water use in the winter months ranges from 3,000 to 5000 gallons per month.

This includes doing laundry, showers, washing dishes etc.

In the summer the water use can go up to 8000 gallons and sometimes 10,000 gallons of water per month when I fill the above ground pool or the kids play in the sprinkler.

Then in the fall and winter months the water usage drops back down to 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water a month.

If you're a single person and using 2000 gallons of water a month that is pretty normal but if your water bill is going higher check for leaks and even check the toilet flappers as they can cause the toilet to run constantly and run up the water bill.
