The Safe As Houses Water Challenge
From Tuesday, November 20 through Sunday, November 25, my household used 123 cubic feet of water or 959.4 gallons.
This was largely due to the fact that we had a jam-packed house during the Thanksgiving holidays which has grossly overinflated our projected usage (particularly since we used a total of 14 cubic feet the past two days to bring our total down) ... a total of five children and eight adults will do this to you.
Since November 11, we have consumed 252 cubic feet of water or 1,956.6 gallons. We are projected to use 504 cubic feet of water over a 30-day period.

Our most recent bill showed us as having used 140 cubic feet for the period of 10/15/07 through 11/14/07. Previously, our usage had normally been around 430 with some peaks and valleys.
So, we've managed to cut our usage by almost 65% with some rather extreme and inconvenient methods but, it is doable. I just hope we can take some of these lessons learned into the future but stop having to do the "navy showers" while dancing around a bucket in our small shower - maybe by March.
Good work, everyone!
