Is it more of a water bill thing, or do you actually effect the water supply? (Long showers, dishwashers, etc)

Yes, fresh drinkable water can be a limited resource in lots of places around the world. It takes a lot of time/money/resources to clean water so it’s drinkable again. Usually we can pull fresh water from rivers/aquifers but groundwater takes a long time to replenish naturally, and many rivers have become dry after getting diverted too much for agriculture/industry.
So it’s good to be careful with water use, although a lot of water is not used by individual consumers. It’s good to do some research on what actually wastes water though. For instance, dishwashers actually save water compared to hand washing.
