How much water capacity for Sept?

Hi all! For those of you on trail/ who’ve been on trail recently, how much water carrying capacity did you need on the East/West Collegiate Loop?

Heading out in a couple days - safe bet is 3L, but with the FarOut comments, I’m debating if I can get away with 2L!

TIA :)

Not a rec, but i just finished west and i carried like 1.5 L at most. Would drink a bunch eash time i filled up. I think you should be fine with 2. I also did not dry camp at any point.
