Our neighbors who have gone home for the season have patches where it looks like the lawn is not getting adequate water. I am thinking that someone who is caring for it needs to check for broken sprinkler heads. I am about to nibby nose into it. Hard to watch areas of a lawn die. We had an area of lawn that was never right and was told that it had a beetle infestation. We recently put in a pool in that area, but had done everything to fix it and it always looked bad, but not burnt out...just sparse and weedy, but green.

Sometimes the rain monitor on the roof doesn't work right after a time.

Hope you find the reason, it must be frustrating to not be there and to have bad reports.
