That gives me a $32.80 (used 7010 gallons less and calculates to $4.68/1000) savings between Dec. 2023 and Dec. 2022. Jan was a difference of $0.40 (260 gallons) and Feb was a difference of $10.33 (2430 gallons). 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.
Yes, the rate does increase if you use more than 7,000 gallons and again at 14,000 gallons. I would suggest that you compare your irrigation water usage to other houses with similar lawns. Water bills are public information. You can view any water bill by going to "districtgov.org" and clicking on "utility bill information", and follow the links and search for the bill using the house address.
