I have heard that Water Wizard, 352-753-5974, will usually respond to a repair request quickly, but they are not cheap. Another option is to use a hose to water that area manually.

I would suggest getting an irrigation maintenance agreement. I use Massey, which is $40 per quarter, and they will inspect the system every quarter. But, if you need a repair, they will come out and repair the system for a very reasonable price. If you don't have an ongoing agreement, it can be a real hassle to find a repair company, and you have no way to know what they will charge.
It looks like that part is just missing. Lawn people probably hit it with their mowers and the like. When the water is on a strong spray shots up from the missing sprinkler head.

I do see that they have the part I would need at Ace.
