Excellent advice, sure hope you follow it. Had similar in our family with relatives in S.S. area of villages. You do NOT want to let this "slide", take care of it now while you have an opportunity. Also correct that you need NO permission to change sprinkler part so neighbor is not able to run his/her water through your meter, but DO check, could have an easement to have the tree, but water needs to be changed (yesterday !) not legal to tap into neighbor's water.
