Default Pond levels - dumping water

SITUATION
we had a lot of rain. Pond levels are higher than the pre determined engineering levels. Sprinklers are run to lower the levels. I get that.
Goft carts staying in their Lanes as well as pedestrians are getting sprayed by wind blown or mis adjusted sprinkler dirty pond water.
QUESTION
why aren't the Sprinklers scheduled to run in the later evening when there is minimal traffic?

Maybe they want to monitor the system ?

Three guesses but no idea if any are correct:

1. Being started and stopped manually so is happening during working hours
2. Running 24 hours
3. Want to take advantage of even a little evaporation during daytime

How often have you got wet?

They do a good job preventing flooding so think they know what they are doing.
