Many people also use too much water and this can result in an increase in the water bill.  You can save so much on your water bill as well as reduce your water waste by doing things such as installing a cistern for your toilet, this can help you to reduce the gallons per flush.  Especially in older toilet models, the gallons per flush can be quite high and this really makes a big difference !
