Well when you get here: Make sure all the faucets and the garden hose is turned off, unplug the sprinkler control box. Turn the water on and read the meter. If it is showing water being used, go inside and check to see if the toilets have running water. If the toilets are not running water, all faucets are off, and the sprinkler system is off...you should not be using any water. If the meter is showing water usage at this point, you need to call a plumber as you have a leak between house and meter or under slab of house (they run copper tubing from bathroom to bathroom under slab here).

If the meter shows no usage with all faucets and the sprinkler system off; I would suspect the sprinkler system has a leak. Look for dollar weed in the lawn (it flourishes in wet ground).
