Why does one patch of garden grass stay wet when the sprinklers are off?

Our answer

Check the water meter while taps and appliances are off, and look for low ground, a downpipe outlet or a leaking irrigation fitting near the patch. Mark how it changes in dry weather. A moving meter or persistently saturated ground warrants a leak inspection.
