He gives no real facts nor any proof he states his whole house only uses 35 litres of water a day. He must be having no showers, nor cooking, using the toilet, cleaning or most other things people do at home. He either has a VERY faulty water meter, is stealing water, lying about his use, failed maths or just guessed for himself what he uses OR the paper misprinted it.

This Example will highlight the average usage for 1 Adult usage averaged over a month.

30 litres = Toilet flush 5 uses
2 litres = drinking water
10 litres = dishwashing
1 litres = clean teeth and face

20 litres = cleaning house
20 litres = guests visiting
29.2 litres = Showering
30 litres = to obtain temperature

Total: 93 litres a person
