I just checked my city's website and our residential water rate for 2026 is $2.97 per CCF (which is apparently "100 cubic feet" = 748 gallon, aren't Imperial Units beautiful). So, a dishwasher that's using 5 gallons of water every day will cost us 60 cents per month.
And this is residential water, which is vastly more expensive (and thus less wasteful) than agricultural usage, at least here in California.
Anybody who's trying to optimize this should re-examine their priorities.
* That said, my current dishwasher takes about 2.5 hours to run, and that was never a problem. If you can afford a home in California you can afford more than one set of dishes.
