I have confirmed when I changed my mailing address for billing to NY that as of Aug billing the water, sewer, trash will be added to the monthly on one bill for all as the Co's have combined.

Thanks for all your input guys

Twynsmom,

On occasion, sprinkler head breaks off and when they do, the amouint of water which escapes during a regular 20 minute cycle could be tremendous. It shoots into the air like a geyser. You would of course only know if someone is present during your watering cycle. It happened to us but fortunately it was one in the front, and one of my neighbors saw it and shut down our sprinkler and left us a note. George

I set the C watering program on a five minute cycle for all zones with no start time. On occasion I select the C program and run a manual all statons. I can then walk around and check for leaks and bad spray areas. When done, I go back to the normal A watering program.

In addition, per 6-6-08 letter from SLCDD, "starting July 25th, the amenity charge will appear on your utility bill as a separate line item" [North Sumter Utility].

Thank you George, but our problem isn't the irrigation water, rather the potable water. We do have someone checking the place for us and they haven't seen any problems. We think perhaps the meter was read wrong or not at all at some point and we didn't catch it, and now it has caught up with us, or someone is using our water from the hose??? :dontknow: Who knows. I don't think we will ever know.. :'(

My neighbor had a problem. The lawn person noticed that the grass was awful green around our water meter box. It turned out that the neighbor's pipe was leaking at the meter. Since they do not pull the lid to get the reading it probably was going on for a while.

It certainly sounds like (1) bad meter, (2) erroneous read at some point, or (3) a VERY significant water leak...have you checked to see if you have a toilet that is running or cycling (might not be noticed when home is check)? 9000 gallons is a LOT of water!

I suppose we can rule out #1 as the water company says they sent someone over and checked the meter. But very possible it could be #2 and/or #3. 9000 gal is a ton of water especially for a Villa! Friends have a Designer house and their usuage for the same time frame was around 3500. We are due back next month so we will be able to delve into it further. Thank you everyone for all the help/suggestions. wav
