Many times properties have a PVB / Backflow for the irrigation system to turn on and off the water. It might look like the ones above. They may have a copper colored top instead of a black one like these. Often times we see them located in homes front or the side yards. Never force knobs and make sure it is only for the irrigation. If the PBV is broken, leaking or rusted we may be able to replace it.

If the leak only shows up when the irrigation is on / running you might be able to turn your irrigation clock to the off position.

Irrigation clock
Many times the irrigation clock is located in the garage. Turning the clock off will not always stop irrigation leaks. These clocks can stop working so checking that they work is important to many residents. Some can be installed outside so access to the garage is not necessary. Some can be controlled using a smart phone.

Water cops
Water waste enforcement
The local water providers have water waste investigators that look for water waste and following up on citizen reports. Some people call them the water cops.
Fixing leaks saves money and water
Water is charged / paid for by the gallon. The more water a property uses the more that property owner / tenant pays for water. The more water a property uses the more it pays per gallon / unit of water. It is commonly called tiers. For example. The Las Vegas Valley Water District rate per 1,000 gallons with a 5/8 inch meter for the lowest tier is $1.40. For the highest tier it is $5.51. The rates are different depending on a number of factors but it boils down to if an irrigation leak is fixed less water is used and in turn not as much money is spent on water.
