Default Sprinkler water usage question
I know this subject has been addressed here in some respects but I can't find a thread comparable to this question.

Is my sprinkler water usage in line with that of other owners? We have a Designer home on a normal Villages lot.

I am using approximately 3500 Gallons of Non-potable water per week, sprinkling once a week for a total of 2.1 hours. (5 zones at 25 minutes per zone) I checked for spongy spots indicating leaks but all looks good there.

This seems high compared to 500-600 gallons of potable water per week when fully occupied; normal laundry and showers for 2 each day.

Just wondering if this is in bounds?

Thanks, in advance, for your input.
