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.

OP, in reading your post, it sounds like you have never actually observed the sprinklers when they are operating. You cannot diagnose a leak by looking at the street and driveway. Every homeowner needs to know how to run the system manually. Your problem could be one broken sprinkler head that is spewing a geyser of water when it is on, or bubbling up from the ground if the leak is underground. I would suggest that you go online and download the Hunter manual for your controller to learn how to operate it.
