It's for sure a lot. Maybe the Epa is counting the water that so many Americans spend watering our trademark huge monoculture lawns so they can stay green regardless of drought/heat wave conditions. Some homes have almost industrial scale sprinkler systems just to accomplish this, although I'm not confident even that would get you up to 400 gallons

Don't a large number of US-Americans also have pools? That's also a big chunk of water.
