Living in a courtyard villa, it is important to know that there are about 7 sprinklers along your neighbors wall, and another 7 sprinklers along your house wall on the other side of your house. The sprinklers along your exterior wall are controlled by your neighbor's sprinkler system. Five of them are inside the gate and 2 are outside near the front of the house. If one of those sprinklers breaks, it will shoot a geyser of water under your eave and can very easily flood your house. This is particularly important if your next door neighbor is a snowbird, who may not know when their sprinkler breaks.
