Typical showerheads have 8.3-9.5 L/min flow limits. Typical bathroom faucet is about 3.8-4.5 L/min. Typical kitchen sink faucet is 5.7-8.3 L/min. Typical modern toilet flush is 4.8-6.0 litres per flush.

Flushing the toilet three times per day, 20 seconds of handwashing each toilet use, a 10-minute shower and using the kitchen sink for a minute = ~126 L. Less, if you have more 'efficient' fixtures.
That’s what I thought when looking up the average residential water service rate. Thanks for reminding me fixtures have way lower rates than the service itself. Derp.
