I don't know the answers, but it seems that these points might affect their scheduling decisions.
To be honest, I think someone just needs to adjust a timer somewhere.

The lawns in this area look no better or worse than most of the residential lawns I see in the area.

Sprinklers can be on from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM and not have the heat of the day evaporate off all the water (that is the rationale for when Villagers can water), so I am certain there are non-peak times that could be used.
