We use the spring water cooler for drinking and cooking, and of course OCD psycho dog's water bowl. On weekdays, we go through a gallon per day. Weekend use is around 2.0 - 2.5 gallons, since we're home.
The well provides water for bathing, washing, toilet flushing, etc. It is more or less safe to drink after passing through our basement water treatment plant, but my DW says that it still has a funky taste so we drink the bottled water.
Note that our treatment system does *not* have a reverse-osmosis filter. My DW says that those filters are ineffective against bacteria.
One of our regional grocery chains carries 4-gallon water cooler jugs for less than the home delivery company, so my DW picks up a jug or two (weigh ~35 pound each) while shopping to supplement the delivered jugs.....
