My water bill did go down. By almost 50%!!

The average bill hovered around $60. The most current one is $29. The only change we made was to turn off the water to the water tank in the toilet and use grey water to flush the toilet.

I also didn’t shower as much. Not showering is also part of an experiment to see how long I can stand to be around my stinky self (ans: about 4 days in the winter - not counting my special days of the month because that would just be really gross. Note: I am also using "green" deodorants which usually don’t work. I am going to try baking soda once I finish up my deodorants). We will be doing many camping trips toward the end of the year and running water will be scarce, so I am preparing myself mentally and olfactorily for that little adventure.
