There's no underground leak because days after the billing cycle there was no usage. I have a weekly homewatch person and if they had forgotten to turn off the water they would have realized it the next week and that wasn't the case. Last summer I had a bill for 3,000 gallons...again not there and water off. They tried to tell us a toilet must have been running....yea with the water turned off! We will be retuning to TV next week and I plan to go up the ladder meeting with people until I get a reasonable answer. 19,000 gallons.....that's a swimming pool. Any suggestions?

Sprinkler line leaking? With our sandy soil, the water may not bubble up.
