I do have a corner lot so there is a little more lawn compared to homes that are all in a row.
I do not live here full time so I can't keep control of turning off the System when it is raining for several days.
But, Gee Whiz !! ........this doesn't seem like it should account for tens of thousands of gallons difference.
I have had them come out and check to see if there is a leak and they say no.
At the end of June, I had our Lawn care place come out and set the System.
(In June, even with 26 thousand gallons the lawn was looking burned out)
He changed it to 3 days a week. Added time in some areas. Took a lot of time off in other areas.
So, this is why the # of gallons increased after June.
How many sprinkler heads do you have in your yard? (I think I have about 36)
So, does this sound like the normal amount for a larger lot (not HUGE lot) ?
Or, is something wrong somewhere?
If you have a corner or larger lot, give me an estimate on how much water you are using. Thanks !

I seems like you are using way too much water. I would try cutting the watering time in half for each zone. I don't have a corner lot, but, when I reduced the watering times from 30 minutes per zone to 5 minutes, I didn't notice any difference in the lawn.
