The utilities office just told me that it can run in the off position if the roof water sensor malfunctions. I understand that the roof sensor's job is to shut off the sprinklers when it is full of water from rain, even if the timer says it should be running. But to turn it on when the main control is turned to OFF? That is not much of a main "off" switch!
The office did say that I could turn it off by unplugging in and taking out the batteries.
Anyone know the truth on this?
The office said they'd have someone check the water meter for a possible reading error.
