Default water needs

Assume the entire lawn is approximately 1/4 of an acre. What is the
water volume in terms of gallons for 2 feet to cover this area? What is
the cost in terms of dollars in the average municipality including bogus
sewer fee watering this particular lawn over the 8 month period?



I'm assuming your questions are rhetorical, but I'll still bite.
Are you asking me to go and dig up my old water bills, cuz that ain't gonna
happen.


I am watering 22,000 sq ft of lawn and 6,000 sq ft of beds, and do try and
keep things adequately watered.
My monthly water + sewer bills range from a low of $70 to a high of $212 per
month. The higher months were following our yearly reseedings which require
substantially more water.

I'll leave it to someone more mathematically inclined to compute the volume.
