In my quest to find why we use so much water for domestic needs, I
measured our shower head output this morning. It measured exactly
2-gallons in 1-minute. Seems high. What is the recommended flow rate
for water conservation?

The water conservation issue is a hoax. First, there is plenty of water
in the world. Second, more is being made every day as a result of fossil
fuel combustion. Third, using water in toilets and laundry machines
doesn't destroy it. Fourth, by putting water in your septic system or
sewer, you are returning it to nature. Evaporation, cloud formation,
precipitation, collection and use continue the cycle.


whether its a hoax or not, it still costs more to use more if they meter
your water. use less, save money. no science needed.

I typically use 10,000 gal per quarter at $3.00 per 1000 gal. $30 per
quarter. Conservation might cut this to $20 if I'm really lucky.

My guess is the fuel required to *heat* wasted hot water far outstrips
the cost of the water itself.
