Because of this thread I found out why my water consumption is so high (20,070 gals. last month). My sprinkler setting was set wrong. I was watering 4 sections 4 times twice a week 10 minutes each. My water consumption will decrease by 75%. So glad to get this problem solved but wonder why the utility company didn't suggest checking this when I called over a year ago

We have never come in at 3700. We do have a pool with autofill. But we are generally in the 9,000 -13,000 range. We have had the water company out but have never figured why it is so high and I have given in to paying the bill every month without fussing anymore.

BTK and others, does you neighbor have a pool? And does you water usage only go up when you are gone for a few days or so?

Many years ago one of the guys at work found out that his neighbor was using his water to top off his pool when he and his family were gone for a period of time. Another neighbor ratted him out.
