Toilets manufactured in the 1980s use 3.5 gallons per flush, and models manufactured prior to that use even more, between 5 and 7 gallons per flush. When you consider the average person flushes five times per day, this can account for a considerable amount of water usage, particularly in multiperson households. Every toilet manufactured since 1994 uses a maximum of 1.6 gallons per flush. Some newer models use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush. While early models used to draw complaints about their poor flushing capabilities, low-flush toilets now flush just as well as their older, water-wasting counterparts.
It may take between 30 and 40 gallons for one bath while the average toilet uses about 5 gallons of water per flush. Other estimated household use averages in America include: Approximately 20-40 gallons of water for one shower. Washing machines use an average of 25 gallons per load. The kitchen sink takes roughly 20 gallons per day for preparing food and washing dishes. The bathroom sink, used for washing hands, shaving and brushing teeth, requires about 15 gallons per day.
