I got home from work today and water was running across our driveway. As it turned out, one of the sprinkler valves in the valve box was "on" and water was running through it. I manually turned the valve to "off" and checked our sprinkler controller. The controller was set in the "off" position and the timer was not set to activate any of the zones, any time of day, any day of the week.
So, why was one zone running today given that we haven't used the sprinklers in months?
Can valves fail "open" or is there some other explanation?
BTW, I unplugged the sprinkler controller from the wall after I turned the individual valve off.
