A few things here - 1) TFA is referencing household use, and you're referencing individual use, and 2) the linked source from TFA doesn't actually give the 1135L/day stat. What it gives is this: "Each American uses an average of 82 gallons of water a day at home" which is ~310 liters.

Also, it's not clear if your source is including water use for home irrigation and recreation (lawns and pools?), whereas the US source is.
