Watering our house

amcg
16 years ago

we live in Phonix in a "zero clearance" neighborhood (the house walls are right on the boundry line of the adjoining property). When we realized our neighbors sprinklers were soaking our kitchen and garage walls and, having a sociable relationship with them (we thought)we asked them to adjust the sprinkler heads, which they finally did after several requests, for a few weeks. Then the heads were put back to the original position because their grass was getting dry in that one area alongside our house. They do not water their own home (no grass directly against their own home; just landscaped pebbles). When our house was painted last spring the painters showed us the damage to the kitchen wall of our house (we do not normally have access to that wall as it is accessable only via our neighbors lot) and they repaired the wall and our neighbors moved the sprinklers which had been directly under our sill; but we leave the area for 5 months each year (work back East) and when we came back this Winter the sprinklers are right back to drenching the walls. We already see new damage. We hate to cause a scene, our neighbors are elderly and easily upset; green grass appears to be an important thing in their life, but it's our house!

Does anyone know if there are Phoenix city codes that might help? We really don't want to have a fall out but...the water is causing real damage.

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum; I had trouble searching for one.
