I have a premium sized lot and my last bill was for 16,720 gals. of water. I was paying for a LOT more until I had my handyman take a look at the control box. I did not know that there are actually two systems on your irrigation control. I had inadvertently set mine (I truly am a technology nerd) so that when the twice weekly watering was completed it automatically started over within seconds and did it all again. You may want to check the control box as I believe this kind of mistake is easy to accomplish - - -I did it without trying! You are using too much water.
