Is this the usual amount of water for a CYV or should I be looking for a problem or something else?
Mark, you don't say how many minutes the sprinklers run. I have a ranch and water twice a week if there is no rain. We've been getting some rain lately so I go about once a week now. Do you have a working rain sensor?
BTW my combined water bill is about $60/month.
Also, about $190 of your total bill is amenities, trash and sewer.
