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.

After you find your problem, set your system to run only once a week. This time of the year, grass is growing slowly and doesn’t need as much water. Also, too much water may create a fungus problem. After we have a frost, grass only needs to be watered once every 2 weeks. Start twice a week watering again in April.
