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.

Yeah, I do 9 min bushes, 15 and 15 about 9 mos of the yr 3x a wk to get the recommended 45 min of water on grass a wk.
Every once in a while T V likes to throw in some unexplained random rise of almost double water usage bill out of the blue. Saw a news clip on that phenomenon but didn't follow up.
Only in T V do you pay for regular water in, AND WATER OUT plus sewer costs. Very strange to me but what are you gonna do??? Potable water is cheaper than reclaimed too... another anomaly for T V.
Orlando reclaimed water used to be like $8 bucks a month once upon a time...
