So my excess water usage was around 8,000 gallons, compared to before I watered under the Oak Trees.

The Disney Ranch arborist told me to do this 2-3 times/year due to the drought.

My water bill last month went from $67 to $83.

Man! My water bill (which does include sewer) is about $300 every two months. We are four people and don't water the lawn.
