Water Usage - My power/water company popped up showing my water usage from December 2023 vs 2024, it claims I used 24 gallons last year and 13 gallons this December. That can't be right... how much water do you use each month?

I fill water for chickens outside, water two small garden plots, obviously dishes, showers, toilet, bidet, and the washer machine should be using a lot more than that...

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.
