We have a large lot (pie shaped 150' x 131' x 110') so I know usage will be on the higher side but is this a reasonable "gallons per month"?
We had the same issue this past couple of months, my brother who is a plumber went and checked it out, and found out one of the toilets were running constantly that we were not a ware of and reset the sprinkler system timing, dropped water usage down from just over 32,000. down to 19,000 hopefully next month will be even better. So have someone check for running water inside your home, such as toilets, and take a look at your sprinkler timer and adjust accordingly.
