Irrigation is slightly different each month. But adjust your sprinklers and also make sure none of your sprinklers are broken. The amenity fee
should only be $165. We just recently bought a house and the irrigation was over $100+, I nearly fell off my chair. My others property in TV is anywhere from 8-10 dollars. This new house is much larger, but still. When we came down to TV last month, the sprinkler was set for 50 minutes 3-4X a week. THAT GOT ADJUSTED!! Also one of the sprinkler heads were broken and when the water was on, it just poured out. Also, always be aware of leaking faucets or toilets. About 3 years ago, I got my bill and the normal $200+ bill was $600. I called my tenant and they said that the toilet was always running and then they went away for a week or two. That's why the water bill was so high. The water company did give me a one time discount. I think they reduced it about $200. That was a lesson learned.
