I would say I don't go out of my way to conserve water. Granted all of my toilets are 6L ones- mainly due to laws. And my shower heads are towards the low flow end; once again because they are newer.

I will be getting a front load washer soon; but mainly for the energy savings and how they are better on clothes.

I do own a water barrel and might buy a 2nd one, but of course that is only used to water the bedding plants as there isn't enough pressure for lawns.

I guess for me there really hasn't been a great incentive shown to conserve water. What water I waste goes back into the Bow, and the cost difference isn't huge. Meaning my water bill is around $20 per month. So if I really work at it and save 33% I save $7 per month. Whereas my electricity bill is around $100 per month, so a 33% savings is more noticable.
