When the sprinkler is on, it runs at 4:30 AM - twice a week. There has not been any notice of the sprinkler usage (water) on the street, driveway or sidewalk in 2 1/2 months. Where is the water going? If there is a break in the line, why would it leak if the timer is turned off (original Hunter SRC plus electric controller installed 2005??).

I turned off the flow of water in the sprinkler module yesterday (12/13) until this is sorted out. It should also be noted that the 2 sprinkler guys I called 12/10 are too busy to stop by.
You should have had them cut it off in the meter box until you get it sorted out. You can do this yourself just make sure you are in the irrigation meter not your potable water meter box. I have a meter key but a pair of vice grips or channel lock pliers will work
