Make it make sense.
Irrigation water is one more if the mysteries of life in the Villages! Maybe there's an added Gator excrement and fish poo charge!

I use an app to override and control my system. That way the Irrigation system doesn't go off during or after a good rainfall. The investment in the Hydrawise module is paying for itself over time.
