The sight of the empties in the street would really look unpleasant. And, how about if your can blew into neighbors yard and breaks their window??? I think I would rather stay with the bags!!!
You would rather schlep four plastic bags out to the street than wheel one trash can out? Really?

There aren't many "quick storms" that would cause trash cans to roll around. It certainly would be better than plastic bags being blown around and tearing open with trash strewn all over the place.

And a trash can breaking a neighbor's window? Don't you think you're stretching it a little bit?

When setting your times for each zone, make sure you ALWAYS have your seasonal adjustment set at 100%. Some people don't even consider that and when they think they are setting it at lets say 25 minutes, and lets say they didn't look at their seasonal adjustment and it was really at 70%, it means you really set that zone for about 35 minutes, once your seasonal adjustment goes back up to 100%.

Why anyone would feel the need to use irrigation water this summer with all the rain that has been falling is beyond comprehension.

Possibly because a lot of residents don't live in TV in the summer months.
And therefore they aren't around to weekly reset their irrigation systems depending on amount of rainfall.

Isn't that a service that a home watch would provide?

Yes Charlene from the village sitter runs my system when she comes and this week sent me pictures of my sprinkler being blocked by grass and the water going to the street
