Thanks to all of you who gave us such great advice on trying to solve our irrigation spike issues.

I will add one thing to answer some questions - we DID come down for a few weeks (leaving in 2 days) so the water usage from the house is us, not a leaky toilet.

While here, we turned off the sprinkler system due to all the rain we have had. Then, the day I made my original post, I received our bill which has been strange for several months - when I compare it to last year, it's very different.

So, with all your great ideas, we DID get in touch with Joe Tucker, and he will be coming out next week (unfortunately he had no openings while we are still here.)

We are very, very grateful for all your wonderful suggestions! Hopefully Joe will be able to get to the bottom of this mystery.
