That gives me a $32.80 savings between Dec. 2023 and Dec. 2022. Jan was a difference of $0.40 and Feb was a difference of $10.33. My actual 3 month savings was $43.53.

And in Dec 2022, there weren't any issues with sprinkler heads or leaks. That is what the Hunter had decided.
14,000 gals is a tremendous amount of water to use... about double what I typically use in a dry month.

I used about 7,000 gals Dec 2022 and 9,000 gals Dec 2023. This year (Dec 2023) *may* have included a day when the controller became stuck and the irrigation ran for several extra hours. So again, about 7,000 gals is typical for a dry month.

If you are in CSU, your rates are in the lower right corner of the first page of your bill. Yes, there are different rates for 0-7,000, 7,001-14,000, and 14,001+ gals. Your 14,920 month would have cost me (7*2.42)+(7*4.04)+(.92*5.59)=$50.36
