I try to re-wear items that could be worn again that really arent dirty like a pair of jeans or a towel that I just used from taking a shower. Even with these changes my water bill is still around $120. The bill also includes my sewer charges as well.

How many gallons of water do you consume?
Banana, good job, that's a big reduction. I seem to pretty consistently use 5000 gallons each time my water bill is due for a bill of just under $74. One person, mostly showers very few baths, about two loads of laundry a week, no dishwasher.
