We are on a corner lot with a Gardenia with 3 car garage. I am not sure of the square footage of lot but it is typical. Our monthly usage is as follows:

May 29,330
June 15,970
July 17990
Aug. 14,050
Sept. 8,240
Oct. 18,480

We water twice per week, 50 minutes for turf and 20 minutes for landscaping, Zoysia grass. There have been a few times this summer when I would turn off the system if it had just rained, or rain was expected. I did not do this very consistently which wastes water.

Starting Dec I lowered the the time for each zone to 25 minutes for turf and 10 minutes for landscaping. Still watering twice a week. I might drop that to once per week, but not sure if that would be too little water.

I will consider a new system similar to described above.
