I'm guessing you mean 24,000 and 13,000 gallons rather than just 24 and 13, or are you talking CCF or some other measurement?
Anyway, my partner and I use around 6,000 gallons or about 8 CCF per month on average and a couple of thousand more in summer when I have to water the lawn and flower garden.
24 seems like a lot, but does your meter get read every month? They usually use estimates and then just read the meter once in a while and then correct for it that month, so it's much better to look at averages.
It's not saying x100 or x1000.. which would be useful info. Thanks for your response!
It sure says gal there but based on your annual chart and common billing in the US I’m guessing the actual billing unit is 1 HCF, which is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons. You could call and ask your utility company to be sure.
I'm thinking the same. Water billing in the States is often by CCF/HCF.
I'm between 3 and 8 depending on time of year.
With outdoor use the OP's 13 CCF sounds right, but 25 is way high and may indicate a leak somewhere.
