The irrigation system was OFF the entire time.

5/21-6/20 irrigation bill $7.08, usage 3,690.
System OFF the entire time.

6/20-7/22 bill $4.11, usage 2,140.
System OFF.

Now, 7/22-8/23 $8.58, usage 4,470!!
System has been OFF!

We have had the system on only to plug the drip tubes. This can't be a leak since the bill would not have gone down. Any ideas?
Normally a sewer bill is determined by the amount of drinking water used in the home. Many times there is a minimum charge even if no water was used. On a new home purchase, the contractors use some water and this is charges to the hew home owner. This is also true with electric billing.
