If there is water running out onto the street then your run time is too long & you are just wasting water. My yard guy says it is better to have shorter periods (10 minutes or less) but more days (5-7) per week to prevent this. Supposedly there is a cycle/soak setting on the system but I cannot get it to work after following the instructions to the letter. Also do not water your lawn during daylight hours. Mine run at 3:00AM EST.
