Your water usage seems a little high. I have a villa and use about 1,000 gallons of potable water and 4,000 gallons of irrigation water. However, I only use irrigation water for about 5 minutes in the shrub areas and 20 minutes in the grass area, two times per week. I would suggest that you view a few of your neighbors water bills by searching their addresses on districtgov.org. Water bills are public information. Also, I would suggest that you check your toilets because they are the most likely cause for leaks in a house. The gasket at the bottom of the canister inside the toilet tank needs to be replaced on a regular basis.
