I added up 15 months worth of potable water bills and they averaged out at 2604. I tried to not include any months when we had company or when we were away for any length of time. I have a rain barrel and use water from it to water my potted plants as much as possible. We eat out a lot, so that cuts back on washing dishes and we do make a conscience effort to take quick showers and not let water run any more than necessary. Other than that, I don't know why our usage is so much lower than the average. The only "spikes" we've seen is when we have company.
