Does anybody know where to find the reclaimed water meter so I can check it when everything‘s off to make sure that I don’t have a leak. Or does this seem about right? Also my personal water usage seems high 2700 gallons a month for just one person so I would like to check that meter too.

8,000 gallons does sound high. I previously had a patio villa and typically used 3,000 irrigation gallons per month. Then one day I received a bill stating I used 22,000 gallons that month. I checked for leaks. There were none. I made several calls to the water dept, transferred and put on hold then would be told someone would get back to me. They never did. After many attempts to get someone at the water dept to help me I finally connected with a rep who agreed to send out someone to check the meter. It was determined the meter was broken and it got replaced. No problems since.
