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.
I live alone in a Courtyard Villa. Similar watering schedule. In the same period, irrigation water was 1630 gallons and in-home water use was 1020 gallons. Apart from the base charge we all pay, my water use charge totaled just under $6. My SECO bill was $95, keeping the AC at 73° 24/7. Not bad! You may have a leak. When I had a home with a pool and a much bigger lawn here a couple years ago, my water usage was around 12,000 gallons per month.
