Is the water to the system turned on? I'd check that first.

First, there's multiple types of systems and valves. Especially if the system is 10-15+ years old.

Are you using city water or what kind of pump? Depending on your water pressure/ pump size then it could be some large rotating heads that absolutely are covering large areas. One zone could cover 3 acres easily, look at a golf course.

As said, repair is super easy OP. Absolutely worth your time. Once you have the water pressure on, its simply a matter of working down the line.

It looks at least that age. The main control is a Hunter Pro-C.

Another strange thing is that the property has a well that the intention was to connect to the sprinkler system, yet the system is hooked up to the city water line.

Many reasons it could be this way. Flow issue, pressure issue, salts...
