Check the city-water-work context first
Carrollton’s official Public Works FAQ asks whether to call a contractor for sprinkler damage after city water repair. The observed answer begins No. The full answer was not readable, so its explanation and subsequent instructions remain unverified. City resource.
Identify the area where the water work took place and the sprinkler concern you noticed. Keep any known city-work reference with the observation date. Describe the condition without deciding from proximity alone who caused it or who will pay for work.
Describe the affected irrigation area without assigning fault
Accessible overview and detail photos can show the relationship between the affected irrigation area and the recent work. State which facts you know and which came from someone else. These are suggested enquiry details, not a list of verified city form requirements.
Ask Public Works for the complete current instruction for that situation and the particular location. Keep a proposed irrigation upgrade separate from the observed damage so the city question is not obscured by a larger private design. Clarify the next step before authorizing a scope on an assumed city repair or reimbursement promise.

The observed official answer begins No for that specific situation. Ask Public Works for the complete current instruction; the excerpt establishes no repair or compensation commitment.
What helps explain a sprinkler issue near recent city water work?
