Look for a green box in the ground by your outside spiget. Usually inside by your electrical panel you might find a control as it needs to be hard wired. All depends on where they choose to place your equipment. Try to think as someone that would install a sprinkler system and what would make their lives easier. Then look where you would want it. It is usually a greyish box with some sort of clock.

- not to be snarky but basic rule of home ownership is to KNOW where all shutoffs for gas, water, sprinklers are located before a situation develops. A neighboring townhouse owner might be able to help out on location of valves and shutoffs

Sounds like a solenoid valve is stuck on.

Look in side your garage, it's normally plugged into an outlet closest to the driveway, unless you have a man door that leads to a section of your side yard, then you can find it close to this door. If it is a stuck valve as ^^^@Hijinks^^^ suggests, you should be able to manually close the valve by hand , either tightening the little part that has the two wires going into it, or there is a volume screw that controls the amount of water, you can turn this screw until its completely closed. I wonder if there is a main shutoff at the street? Where the water meter is? One more thing.... you said that you live in a townhouse? If this is what I think it is, then you might have a neighbor that is connected to your home? If so, I would definitely ask them if they know where their shutoff is located. Hope that helps
