My fault, because we moved in in December. The house had been inspected as was the irrigation system, so, like a dunce, I did not check the system.

I should have checked the timer. Or at least insisted someone from the water company come out. It took him 10 minutes to figure it out, plus gave a lesson on the meter.

I am a bit embarrassed, because I thought I was sharper than that!

If you never used a sprinkler system setting it up wrong or not changing from new grass t established is common. Be sure to mention to new residences to check the systems.
