Our house inside has:
Dual Flush toilets, filter things on the taps, a water saving shower head on both showers.
I have stopped my filled to the top baths and are having quicker showers. Ive even had my hair cut so its short so im not in there for as long, ok it wasnt for that reason but still helping! Dishes once a day. Or I only fill it about a 1/3 and only place one thing in at a time, rather than filling it up to the top and piling everything in. Washing machine loads adjusted, i always make sure i do loads that are full. DH calls them Mary Poppin washing, its like her bag, you keep reaching in and there is still more clothes.
We did not plant our lawn this year because we of the water restrictions and knowing how much water it would require. We have a combination of plants which we water by hand. No sprinkler use at all. They are given a good soak rather than just a little bit. We are mulching the garden as well. about 2/3 the way through at the front already.
I think we are going to get the hoses to empty the water from the washing machine out to the garden as well when DH gets around to it.
