The EPA estimates the national average is 100 gallons per day per person. All reads are actual reads and are not estimated. You can always keep track of your usage by reading the meter and keeping a record of your standard usage.
Meters are read electronically. They have an electronic device that allows them to drive by your home, and remotely pick up your actual reads.
