[quote=UCGal]I think I posted my stats earlier in this thread… but I’ll post them from the latest bills again.
From 4/27-6/27/2012 we used 24 HCF. (may june bill)
Our next bill will come out in a week or so.
We were gone for almost 3 weeks of that.
My mangy kids don’t bath as frequently as yours. Something about pre-teen boys feeling no need to be hygienic. It’s gross.
We don’t have much lawn (as posted above) and have hooked an outdoor shower into grey watering the shrubs. This saves on irrigation.
We use more water in the summer than winter – so irrigation is still impacting.
No pool.
Neighbor uphill from us waters a lot – we don’t water the fruit trees on that side of the yard… they thrive anyway.
We’re not typical at all. I suspect lawns have high impact on water bills (require frequent watering). By sticking to more trees/shrubs… using a combo of drip irrigation and soaker hoses for the trees, shrubs, veggies. Only the front yard and a side yard get spray irrigation.
Some more bills/usage.
March April: 17HCF (assume there was rain and irrigation turned off)
Jan Feb: 25HCF
Nov Dec 2011: 13HCF (assume there was rain and irrigation turned off)
Sept Oct: 24HCF

May June 2011: 25HCF[/quote]
Ah..got it. Sorry..I missed your data the first read through.
I see you’re posting in HCF. Yeah, my total HCF for the last cycle was 46 HCF.
Definitely it’s a good topic and one that I’m going to pay more attention now. Before, I didn’t really think about it too much but the last bill was an eye opener.
