Median US household water usage is 130 gallons per day according to Wiki.[0]

So ~280 households worth of water? Though the US seems to be on the high end, using 3x more than Japan and 4x more than France (according to a random website)[1]

To state the obvious most people are not running big faucets all the time, and in fact are using way less.

It seems like a bit of a self-own to not just use household or per-capita usage here to prove a point though.
