Yes, I double-checked that the 22 figure is for the whole two months and *not* the monthly average over the two-month billing period.

It's not that I *don't* consciously conserve water, of course. I don't let the water run while I'm soaping up anything, whether it be teeth or hair or dishes. If water were no object I'd still do a 2 - 3 times/week shower schedule, but conservation is an excellent bonus. I let the rain do all our car-washing and lawn-watering (and allow any lawn plant that can't thrive on the ambient amount of water to be outcompeted by plants that can: if I'm going to put *effort* into growing something it had better be edible).
But his past self who was using 70 cubic metres per two months thought of himself as conserving water too. And the him that uses 24 cubic metres per two months on his human household members--with two more infants than I have, but "once or twice a week laundry" for six people doesn't sound like he's using cloth diapers--had to go into all-out grid-down mode to do it.

I honestly don't get it.
