mtanz6.. You made me take a look at my water usage. Your using too much . I had a leak at the meter and found it right when i moved in. You can take the cover off and look at the meter on the older ones. New meters might be different . All you have to do is make sure nobody in the house is using any water and watch the meter. If the meter moves theres a leak. If no leak is found then have your settings all rechecked . Probably way too much irrigation. To give you an idea heres what i used so far this year in gallons per month.

I had to realy increase it in june since it was so hot and dry. 35000 is too much. I have 5 sprinkeling zones on my irrigation. Hope this helps.
