Tldr: Im not sure how to read this bill, August looks like an outlier, Im trying to understand why, but the "temperature" reading is throwing me off. Also, is 20k gal a normal amount for irrigation (watering my lawn)?

Can someone help me understand what Im looking at?

Our JEA bill has been excessively high the past couple of months, over $500 between electric and water. We live in a 4 bedroom house with a lot of windows and about 1/2 - 1 acre yard.

My landlord apparently got a letter from the HOA about our grass not looking healthy enough, so he came by an adjusted the sprinkler settings a couple of weeks ago. After some research, I learned that we were in a phase 3 water restriction. After speaking with him, we came to a compromise and adjusted the settings, but I fear that the damage was done (and the yard looks worse than before because he laid manure and seed, and it didnt take, but thats neither here nor there).

We monitored our electricity this month and dropped it by almost $100 but got screwed on the water. This graph looks concerning but I don't understand the "temperature" reading on it. Also, is the irrigation a normal amount? 2000gal seems high to me and it puts us into the tier 2 threshold, but Google says its a typical amount of water?

Any advice is welcome, my land lord hasnt been much help, he just states that "it wasn't that high when he lived here, so we must be doing something wrong."

Thanks in advance
