Container plants get watered daily through the hopefully dry summer weather, the the garden never except for Vegetables in dry weather, especially runner beans, maybe being on a water meter damps the enthusiasm.
My water source is a surface water spring which had stopped running but this rain has made it burst into life again. I can store about 2000 litres which sounds a lot but it does run out in the Autumn. I water in rotation with some plants being included more than others - brassicas, beans etc.
