I am just guessing here. Your $200 for water would equate to about 50,000 gallons of water. That is a lot of water. Go outside and check your irrigation water meter to see if it is moving. Assuming you don't have a leak, you could have a bad meter. Mine was taken out by lightning last year. Call the utilities and ask them to come out and check your meter.

I got my Utilities bill and it jumped to over $400 this month. $200 is for the Irrigation base which is usually only about $20. I called the utilities customer service and they told me it is a true reading. I had Massey come out and inspect my system and there are no leaks and all my sprinklers are working fine. The system is set on 2 days a week, 25 minutes each zone (4 zones) and only set on Program A, Program B is off. Massey could not figure out what the problem is. Any suggestions? I called Jim Baumgartner who is coming out on Wednesday, but if Massey couldn't find anything and they checked really carefully, I doubt Jim will have any better luck.
