Why can't they be timed to water later when there is minimal cart traffic?

Contact property management. Try to be specific remember exactly which head they do go through all of the heads on a regular basis but sometimes they mess up or one gets knocked out of whackContact property management.

Because it’s inefficient. They are watering at the right times. You will either need to drive through it like the rest of us or take your car instead.

You know I think TV will tell you in a nice way that you got the privilege to live there & your not the mayor. Not trying to be mean but 1 person complaining won’t change their watering times. 100 people complaining might do it!

if you drove your car or bike past an open fire hydrant, someone with strong hands and a can, preferably schaefer ( it was the 60's) open at both ends would wash your car for you, windows up or down for you, no charge. Remembering the hilarious foot chases.

I always thought there could be an APP to report bad sprinkler heads.

You’re driving on an MMP, you see a sprinkler spurting into the air, you open app, mark the location and it’s reported.

The APP’s not commercially viable, so it would have to be villages developed.

good idea. An update to the village gps would work for that and other observations.

At the very least it’s a waste of water. I suggest using the App What3words for the ability to clearly pinpoint the location of issue.

Sprinkler
 
It is so disrespectful to the residents of TV to operate the sprinkler systems in such a manner that we have to drive through them.
