Out of the EnergyPlus report that was found in your model subfolders :
So the yearly water consumption is about 5 m^3 which translates to about 1320 Gal.
I am not sure where were you looking to get the 300K gals per year.

OK, if anything your model produce lower water consumption than it should:
260 weekdays * 60 minutes * 0.0099 (your fraction use in the model) (111 gpm+1.5 gpm = 12.5) = 1930.5
The reason for that is that only 8 out of your 12 WaterUse:Equipment objects are assigned to spaces that are assigned to thermal Zones. I belive that if you assign thermal zone to each space in your model then you will get the right water usage.
When OS translate the model to IDF it is not translating those objects that are not located within a thermal zone. I am not sure why OS does that without throwing any warnings. It might be an issue. My be someone can step in and explain that.
