You can monitor the amount of irrigation water used per month on your water bill. The amount of irrigation water used should be between about 2,000 and 5,000 gallons per month, depending on the size of your lawn. These are just estimates, based on my experience. I think a lot of people tend to overwater their lawn.

Wow, just Wow.
Advice is worth less than you pay for it, case in point. Not all of us reside in CYV or patio villas some stone or no stone so simply disregard a 2k to 5 k gallons per month recommendation. Some parameters need to be addressed first OP like what type of grass you have, size of lot, do you have the original sprinkler controller or a smart controller and any other relevant details.
I have developed a spreadsheet of several neighbors water usage, 23 I believe, I can tell you unequivocally I could not draw any conclusions except no one used as little as 5,000 gallons per month during the growing (non rain) season, no one.
