I called out the landscape guys who showed up and removed the defective controller. They are supposed to bring back a replacement tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if we want our landscape to be watered, manual irrigation is in order. The guys from the landscape contractor showed me a couple of controls in the box with the electrical valves where I could manually open the water lines to the irrigation system. <\/p>\n<p>I waited until the sun is low in the western sky to start the flow so the sun won&#8217;t evaporate the water before it has a chance to sink in. We had the controller set up to water twice a day, once before sunup and once after sundown. I&#8217;m just going to run the water for a couple of hours and turn it off for the rest of the evening. I hope the guys show up in the morning and restore things back to normal.
