[quote=Arlingtonian703][quote=Anonymous][quote=Arlingtonian703][quote=Anonymous][quote=Arlingtonian703][quote=Anonymous]NP, Fairfax County, and I am wondering if we have a hidden water leak.  Just paid $336 for 24,000 gallons of water use, which seems incredibly high.  Lots of showers, dishes, laundry, but we don't water our yard.

We pay separately for trash (American, included in HOA fee).  A few years we moved from Fairfax City, where the city handled trash collection, and I would move back in a heartbeat if interest rates were lower.  Not a fan of the county.[/quote]

Is that 24,000 gallons in a month? Because yeah, that's a lot of water.[/quote]

Even if that's in a quarter that's a lot! Our average for a family of 4 in Fairfax county is 9k gallons of use a quarter!  I would definitely look for leaks.

We hit 31,000 in a quarter before getting a smart(er) sprinkler controller. But then we've had 24,000 and 25,000 quarters as our two highest after that. But that's including watering the yard. So if they're not doing that's awfully high for a quarter and absurd for a month.[/quote]

WOw, I had no idea watering the yard used that much water--no wonder there are environmental controls.  We have a 1/4 acre in Nova and I never water my yard--maybe a drip hose in the vegetable garden on really dry times that happen a handful of times a summer.  It rains so much here, watering seems superfluous.[/quote]

Well 15,000 and 18,000 have been our lowest quarters so we were never in the 9,000 gallon range. I wonder why - toddler at home so lots of laundry?[/quote]
