I have noticed that some courses are already being flooded & the sprinklers have been running on the roadway verges. I hope the current high waters that I see in ponds near me are not anywhere near where you are.

Our pond during the tropical storm in September 2017, rose 13 feet, came close roads and houses. Sprinklers were running days ahead 24/7. Pond water can be moved to larger ponds, as needed.
Golf courses became small lakes, some tunnels were underwater.
But no houses ended up with pond water. We had ducks swimming, by our house, a very confused gator who ended up in the road, along with 9 large trees fall into the pond. Every house stayed dry. This will be the third time for us since 2007, that pond control has been t its best.
Trying to predict what may or may not happen is a crap shoot. It’s just easier to wait and see. Water past the tree is the reason sprinklers in common areas have been running 24/7. If this is your first major rainfall, get some dvds to watch, every station will be non stop weather, over and over and over.
