Sprinklers in the common areas often run during rainstorms because the level of the retention ponds is being managed. Most of the water for common area irrigation comes from the retention ponds and their levels need to be managed. Irrigation of residences during rainstorms could be an issue with the rain sensor or the rain sensor is functioning correctly but enough rain hasn’t fallen yet to trip it. Irrigation during the day doesn’t burn grass.

And then their is the fact that the Villages are the pesticide capital of the world.
