I have an irritrol sprinkler system that has worked for years. When I turn on station 1 it goes on fine, but then when I try to turn it off it will not do so when I hit the off button. It will only turn off when I turn the dial to "rain off" or turn off the main vavle in the ground. It also does the same thing when it cycles through the preset program. Instead of station 1 turning off it will remain on and station 2 will also turn on and water at the same time. What is causing this???? Help!

I will try to make this short and simple. There is a water shed problem that occurs a few times out of the year (heavy rains). The natural flow of water flows from East to West on the property. My property sits at alittle higher grade than my neighbor to the east of me. So, when water drains from the east to the west it ends up pooling up against the edge of my property but mostly flooding the neighbors. Every now and then I am told it floods their basement. It does nothing negative to my property. There is a small culvert that runs along the road in front of our homes but the cluvert is at a higher grade than the area that pools water up. Without digging through my property which is what they want to do (this is the ONLY slope they could find that naturally drains water away)...... what other methods are there to keep them from having to dig on my property to lay a french drain or some other type of drainage system. There would need to be a pump that would pump the water up the small grade to the culvert. Is there any type of drainage system out there that is meant for these types of situations????? I have googled in the past and thought I found something but I cannot find what I thought I saw. (A pit that would collect water and a pump that would pump the water out to the culvert. Sorta like a sump pit in a basement does but meant for outdoors)
