We had a huge water bill, until we tested the sprinkler heads, which are set for 2-4 AM, and we never see them actually operate. One next to the street was broken off and was just watering the road at 100% of the flow. . . once fixed, our bill dropped back to normal.. . .

do tell us about your volume stats. . .
I'm with you 1000%. The watering schedule will change once I figure out the best alternative time with a little help from the senior peanut gallery. Asking for suggestions, please. I would prefer the evening if that doesn't hurt the lawn or bother the neighbors with the smell of the water. Thanks in advance.
