A broken stem is a trip hazard and a waste fountain. HOA playground lots and backyards with dogs need the can capped or replaced now, not on the next convenient route day. We will stabilize even if the matched nozzle ships tomorrow.
Stabilize now
Cap or replace the body, kill the geyser, mark the hole. A dirt crater is still better than a spike of PVC.
Emergency if it is a fountain you cannot cap.
Then match the zone
Come back with the right pop-up height so the next mower pass is not a stem-cutter.

How we actually run this job
On the truck this is still isolation before dirt, a written option before extra parts, and a legal watering window after the hardware works. Texas clay, caliche, and city mains punish skipped steps. If a national checklist contradicts your utility, the utility wins.
If you are comparing cities, use the local page rather than this article alone — soil and freeze risk change at the county line. The service menu is here and the area list is here.

Texas context we will not skip
Gulf clay, Blackland prairie, and Edwards rock do not share a repair script. A wet spot in Houston is not a freeze crack in Dallas, and a SAWS stage day is not a MUD watering window in Katy. We write those constraints because they change the parts on the truck and the program we leave on the clock.
If this article is about a part, still run isolation before you buy a case of that part. If it is about a city, still open the valve box before you trench the first damp patch. If it is about a clock, still measure the solenoid. That order is the whole business.
