Spikes are within one minute. For example, per minute water flow in GPM during one irrigation zone...

My potable water per month is 3500-4500 gallons.

Point 2: "A one time spike that triggered a single reading of thousands of gallons (a glitch that shows the meter is defective and that usage is not valid)."
It appears to be happening many times, 1 to 4 times per hour. I know someone else that is compiling lots of data. The sum of all could be quite significant. Who knows if every meter is acting with the same scale of spiking.
