That works up to 12,000 gal a month for a family of 4. WHEW! Not even, not
here. Ever. And that was with 3+gallon toilets back then. We might have
come close on the month we opened the pool each year. It usually took about
6000 to top it off each year.

I agree that an acre-foot seems hig for annual use for 4 people, but a
tenth of that for 5 comes to about 20 gallons a day per person. Good
for you and your family if yo achieve that, but average residential
use is closer to 100 gallons per person.
