We have 6 "gallons" [each 19 ltr] of drinking water delivered each week. If it runs out and he cannot deliver immediately, we get a very strong feeling of how precious water is.

Examples from your own experience, please.
Just eight one-month trips to the UK 1994-2002 made the country more precious to me than if I'd lived there.

The Indonesians use the word galon to refer to a water dispenser bottle. That's why "gallon" has quotation marks around it.
