NOTE -- ARITHMETIC ERROR, THE WATER SAID USAGE WAS 28000, NOT 58000.

Got a courtesy call from the rural water company yesterday telling me we used 28000 gallons of water between 11/25 and 12/24. We normally use between 3000 and 4000 per month. Later in the day I got a bill for $445.00. We checked the meter when we knew no water was running. The meter was not moving. The outside faucets were turned off for at least 15 days of the month and we found no running water before we turned them off for the winter

Is this even possible ? How long would it take to use 20000 gallons if an outside hose was running.

Any idea how big of a vessel, like a swimming pool, would be to hold that much water. ?
