well your water bill is calculated using cubic meters and there are 264 gallons in a cubic meter. Approx 4 litres per gallon.
Savings really depend on the frequency you do laundry and the cycles you run.
A quick calculation Based on my house hold
conventional
11.25*156 (52 weeks * 3 loads per week) = 1755/264 = 6.64 * $1.185 = $7.877
front Load
3.75 * 156 = 585/264 = 2.21*$1.185 = 2.62
saving for year = 7.877-2.62 = $5.25 per year
now keep in mind that in some places you also get billed for the amount of water put back into the sewer system and you also have to add in your power savings
I hope I didn't screw any conversions up
