How much does it cost to run a sprinkler?

Answer 1

$3.15 per/hour

I just did calculation based on:

-- City water price of 0.015 cents per gallon of water (water & sewer)

-- A GPM rating of 3.5 gallons per minute on the single sprinkler

--TOTAL it costs me $3.15 per hour to run a single standard hose-type sprinkler

**note: there is a large variation of in garden sprinklers. Some have GPM of 0.5 all the way up to 8. Average sprinklers run 3-4 GPM. I split the difference of the average.
