Does it look normal to you? If not, what is our next step?

Thanks for any ideas, or thoughts you have on our bill.

Here is my usage chart from last month. I live here all the time in a Courtyard Villa. I think my sprinkler system is on twice a week for ten minutes in the back and three times a week for ten minutes in the front.

Two years ago I lived in a home in The Villages with a larger yard and a pool. My water usage was around 12,000 to 14,000 gallons a month. My first month in my Courtyard Villa, my irrigation was 38,000 gallons! Turned out a pipe was completely broken off and running without restriction whenever the irrigation was running—which was daily for a half hour. And the water was coming out on the neighbor’s property.
