Get to know your system. Check how much usage per zone/ten minute cycle. Map your sprinkling heads and make sure all are working properly. Check for sprinklers covered by grass or broken. Ie make sure they are performing and aimed correctly.
If your system does not automatically stop running when we have adequate rain, either get that fixed or shut it down manually. At this time of year. you can sometimes go several weeks without watering due to our frequent showers.
Learn how to tell to read the lawns need for water by appearance. Some zones need more than others, size, shade, content (Grass, shrubs, trees}
