Our charges seem high? Comments....
My comment is we, collectively, know Zero about your lawn. Is is 3,300 sq ft lot? 5,200, 8,700, 12,000 or something else? Do you even have a lawn or is it stone?

So I think it is low for a 12,000 lot but outrageous for a patio villa 3,200 foot lot with stone 'lawn'.

Irrigation systems are very different in terms of gallons per minute (GPM) used depending upon types of head, mister, drippers or the number of any of these. Let's use my lawn as an example, depending upon zone I use: 10.46, 12.46, 6.8, or 10.4 GPM.

So to get any sort of accurate feedback you need to provide SQ. footage of lot and number of gallons used in a month.
