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.
Sounds like you have covered all of the bases. You mentioned program A and B, I also have a program C. One other thing, when the magnetic pick ups (so the meter readers don't have to open the cover to read the meter) were installed at my place they had to manually enter the last reading which they did incorrectly. You might want to see if this coincides with the large bill.
Please let us know how this turns out.
