Auto drip line constantly dripping

14 years ago

I started to notice a really soggy area of my lawn right next to some bushes I have that are watered by a drip line that is part of my automated sprinkler system. So I dug around and found that the last drip emitter on the drip line never stopped dripping, even when the system/zone wasn't on. I also noticed that the drip line went on past the last bush it is supposed to water to connect to a sprinkler head in Zone 3 (drip line is zone 1). I'm not sure why it connects to Zone 3 was hoping someone might have some insight?

I was also wondering what could be causing it to constantly run? I haven't had a chance to dig up and look at the other drip emitters on the same line, but there isn't any pooling or soggy areas around the other bushes that the drip line waters. Is this just a problem at the manifold/valve? Any help is greatly appreciated for both issues....
