Irrigation
You must have a leak or your sprinklers are running way too long

We definitely paid for almost two months on our first bill due to the closing date of the sale vs the billing date for the property. So do be sure you check the actual usage days on that first bill.

We have a larger corner lot but not as large as yours. The last two months, being extremely dry, we used right at 20,000 gallons for irrigation. By comparison, in Dec, we used less than 10,000 gallons.

Called the water department with a usage concern. Have a wedge lot as well. Very nice lady plugged details of the lot size into some type of water usage calculator & told me what is ‘normal’ for our lot. Just a suggestion for you!!

It’s possible. With the drought this spring, and regular rains only just starting, most people I know had to go to watering 3x a week just to keep their grass alive. We have a small lot but filled with new landscaping that has to be watered everyday the first two months to get it established. We used just under 10,000 gallons. Sounds like your grass area is 3x the size, so 30,000 is possible, but turn on your sprinklers and watch for a broken head just in case. My neighbor runs their irrigation a little less than us, and their statement showed using 79,000 gallons. They have no broken heads, or lines. Sounds like an error in the reading of the meter, since it’s done remotely.

out of curiosity what does 39000 gallons equate to Dollars?

$104, assuming it is not potable water.

Agree, 39,000 gallons is excessive.

Should also mention that the Rachio controller can be connected to a Tempest weather station to provide specific rainfall at your location instead of using an aggregation of info from nearby stations. My tempest station works great with the Rachio. If interested, the Tempest weather station is also available on the Rachio website. Good luck Last edited by jcgrether; 05-25-2023 at 08:47 PM.

It’s not normal.
My mowing guy, clipped the head off of one of my sprinklers and never told me. Sometime later, i manually ran the sprinkler heads (i do this every few months or so). The sprinkler with no head was spouting a 15 foot geyser in my back yard. It is worth running a manual irrigation cycle occassionally. |
