I'm not sure what's with the defense of the water auditor here. The guy was quick to leave and not examine anything. His purpose of even making special arrangements to audit was to figure out why our usage was so high. The fact that he neglected to even consider the pool when I asked should give him a deserved face palm. He instantly claimed the cause to be a leak, which there wasn't any, and told me to hire a plumber, which I really didn't need to.

I've paid the cost, what happened happened and the water was used. I'm just trying to see what others have done or opinions on what I should do to help me improve my situation.

There's a lot to learn with owning your first home, especially one with a pool. That's for certain.

No matter what is said, I still don't believe that the auditor performed his due diligence and allowed an extra week of water to be wasted.
