Please try NOT to call Greenscapes at all after hours because if they show up, it will cost $125 and we will all share in the cost. Speak to any of the above or Cambridge Management at 239-249-7000 first, since main irrigation water may be easily shutoff locally.
If you are comfortable doing so, you may try to follow the troubleshooting procedures.
1) Check irrigation controller box on side of house. Never adjust spinkler timing. Move to OFF position. Wait 1-2 minutes. If water does not shut off see next step.
2) Go to the lavender colored rectangular irrigation box on front lawn. Take lid off and find valve shutoff (debris gathers over time and may need to be cleaned off first). With a pair of pliers, turn valve to OFF position. If this does not work see step 3.
3) Call Cambridge Management.
Please note that afterhours visits by Greenscapes costs $125 which is paid for by the Gleneagles HOA. We should strive to avoid these charges if possible.
