Foreclosed Home Sprinkler System Won't Turn On

Vacant AZ home, sprinkler system unused for months. One above-ground valve and two in-ground valves opened, but nothing runs.

Recommendation

Hire a professional to inspect and demonstrate operation. Too many controller/valve types for generic advice. Ensure water and power to controller are on. Download manuals at Coast Water Works.
