Our household average water usage is about 7cubic meters, and with 5 people in the house, we use about 50 liters per person per day. Might not be the exact way to calculate lpcd and not really an accurate way to measure individual consumption but it's a rough figure.
We don't do very special ways to save water and with children in the house, we do wash alot of clothes. Water efficient taps and drum type washing machines, but mostly a prudent way of using water like taking short showers less than 5 min, reusing our bath water to wash the floor outside the house helps alot.
It's been said that people used to using alot of water for their showers and washing can't get used or are not comfortable with low flows. Technology and design of water efficient fittings have come to a stage now whereby it can be quite comfortable to use water efficiently. It's just a matter of mindset and a willingness to adapt.
Would you be willing to change?
