Not exactly. I water 30 minutes (3 zones: 5 minutes, + 5 minutes + 20 minutes) two times per week, and use 4,000 gallons of irrigation water per month. He waters 45 minutes (15 + 15 + 15) two times per week and uses 8,000 gallons per month. So, he is watering for more minutes, and is using 3,000 gallons of water more than I am. I doubt that he has a leak. I think he could save some water by reducing the watering times for the shrub areas because they shouldn't need as much water as the grass.
