I'm 51 years old. When I was growing up I had 2 parents and there were 4 of us kids. We had a 80 gallon water heater and I never, ever, remember it ever running out of hot water.
I have a friend that has a 31 year old single daughter. She has 4 kids. She had a 80 gallon water heater and was always complaining that they were running out of hot water. She had to have a bigger one installed. ( I think 130 gallons or something like that.)
I just couldn't figure out where all the hot water was going. When I asked her she said things like "4 kids taking baths and laundry". I said "Why can't the older kids take showers and then do some of the laundry in warm (or even; god forbid; cold water)". I got that "roll eyes" look like I was from the stone age or something.
I realize this is a story about hot water and not just water. But, if they can't get by on that much hot water imagine how many gallons of water they must go through in a day.
By they way, there electric bill is staggering too. lol
