IMO no, need look at street when watering? Do you see water running down street 10 mins or more each zone? If so you either watering too much or you’re watering street. My water bill runs between 3800 and 4800. And I don’t run irrigation unless need to, when I do it’s done manually not regularly. I don’t have grass so I just have to water bushes and plants. This is hottest time of year May through September. IMO if you’re water grass be lucky under 7000 gallons or more month.

If you’re for underground leak should be signs of wetness?
