we have done leak/level tets on the pool and ruled it out.
We no longer use the auto fill until such time as I get the "problem" figured out.
The month that we had potable water useage of over 9000 gallons we also had irrigation useage of 11,000 gallons (we have a very large yard with 7 zones....watering once per week) and the irrigation useage is consistent with previous months...it goes over 20,000 gallons per month when we water twice per week in the summer.
What is beginning to show a pattern is that the potable useage is the same whether we are here or not!!!!! And if the meter is showing that there is no flow when everything in the house is turned off.....it does not take a magician to figure there is something wrong in the metering. It does take a lot of perseverence with the water company as there usual position is you have a leak some where. Well we now have enough readings and observations to show the water noted is NOT being consumed by us.
I am willing to concede tha we may be above average users (just to be conservative) say another 1000 gallons to be generous in assumptions. That still leaves 4000++ gallons unaccounted for.....
We shall see.
