What if it was actually YOUR pipe that was nicked before the meter?
Even if your system has been off for 5 months as you say in post 37. And even if your irrigation water usage is zero, it is still possible that the leak is before YOUR meter.
The water dept can test that.
I'm wondering this because if your irrigation system has been off for 5 months, I'd think your entire lawn (front, rear and sides) would be mostly brown and dead.
And if your neighbor is watering so excessively, why isn't her lawn also root rotted? Especially in poorly drained areas.

I had my system checked before I said a word to her so I am confident it's not me.
There is no reason to water all winter when grass is dormant. Mine is not brown and dead but normal for spring grass. We've had more than enough rain to provide moisture. It's just grass and doesn't need to babied. I seldom turn my irrigation on as it's a waste of resources. It's only on in the dead heat of summer.
The water is running from her to me as I'm lower. Didn't have a problem for the 5 years I lived here.
Repairs will be done to my property most likely with a French drain by me and then trust me, she and I will never speak again.
