Where is it? I have a designer Iris. I walked around the house and can't locate it.
Check for a leak, or leaks in the irrigation system. The leak may be underground where you can't see it, or you may see a mound of sand that has been pushed up by the water leaking.......this would be the first thing I would check, if my water usage went up by much. You may have to call in an irrigation company to check your system.
