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
10 litres = preparing food
20 litres = cleaning house
20 litres = guests visiting
29.2 litres = Showering
30 litres = to obtain temperature
Total: 93 litres a person

To save water in the home you need to first count how much water is used to know
what and how much you need to reduce your usage by. To do this follow the simple
steps below. It is recommended you do this for about four weeks / a month so you
can calculate your daily average as well.
A:
1 Day 1. Read your water meter before you go to bed tonight or at a specific
time say 6 pm
2 Day 2. Read your water meter at the same time. Take the lower reading from the
higher reading which will give you the amount of liters of water you have used.
3 At the end of 4 or 12 weeks take your first reading from your last and divide
the result by the number of days in the period the readings cover, i.e. 28 or
84. This is your daily average usage.
4 Providing you stick to this pattern and advice the government will not get you
for excess water. You will also have proof of your usage should you be trying to
prove it to them or your landlord.
Hints and Tips
Where possible measure the water you use. Use the normal amount you would at
this point. If you can't measure the amount estimate or better still calculate
how much. Now you can figure out where you can start saving water.
The kitchen is one of the high water usage areas. When rinsing dishes cups etc.
remember the water used to rinse one coffee cup can be reused to rinse up to
three others, bowls for plates and vice versa.
