My hot water tank runs out quick so if I let it warm up it’ll be cold by the time I get in.

I’m down to military showers, 8 minutes (heavy scrub independent of the time)

Is 8 minutes considered a fast shower?

Maybe if you have long hair lol. I’m way faster than 8 mins

It can be a poverty thing too.

If you struggle to pay normal bills, letting it warm up makes the bill higher. So grow up poor, and you find out lots of habits of yours exist to save less than a dollar a day.

Does water service not come with a base volume in most places? Where I am, we have a base service fee of $20/m and that includes like the first 2000 gallons, and I struggle to even hit that most months. Jumping in a cold shower wouldn’t actually save me any money .

In the US, I’ve never seen that on any water bill in my life. It’s just dollars per gallon here.

You’re also paying for your heater to heat that water. If you don’t use as much hot water, your electricity/gas bill should be slightly lower.

I think it’s a about heating the water and not the amount of water used

Letting it warm up means waiting until the water coming out of the faucet/shower head is warm instead of cold.
