You can keep tabs of the water usage yourself with a water monitor. It is impossible for you to have any usage of any kind, including leaks, without being able to see it.

Despite what you have read here in this thread it is extremely easy to monitor water daily, hourly or even smaller time units.

Effectively you have two choices if you have a separate irrigation line. One, Flume water monitor, amazon 200.00 monitors at the meter, no plumbing, no fees. Installation is three minutes, maybe ten. No tools required.

Two, Rachio irrigation controller with a water monitor option. Plumbing, required. You cut into the irrigation line on your side of the meter.

I recommend the Flume option.

Ask any questions you have.
