August water bill made you do a double-take? Nine times out of ten in Tucson it's one of these:
A drip emitter clogged or blown off — water running straight into the dirt
A controller still on its June schedule, ignoring the monsoon rain
A hidden line leak you can't see but are absolutely paying for
A 15-minute check usually finds it — and often pays for itself on the next bill. A smart controller can cut usage significantly on top of that.
