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.

I would recommend that you check with your Irrigation System Manufacturer to determine how much water you should be using based on your number of zones and heads per zone, plus your run time per day and week. I know that I can calculate what our water consumption should be by making some calculations so that when we are back up north, I know approximately how many gallons of water we should be using - i.e., 3 zones x 20 mins. per zone x 2 times per week x 9 gals. per minute and 4.33 weeks in a month. For us, that equates to approximately 4,680 gals. per month just for our Irrigation System. But talk to your Manufacturer or go on-line to do so, and make sure you don't have any water leaks too!
