New home has in ground sprinkler. Can't figure out out

Bought a new home in MA and found what appears to be some model of in-ground sprinkler system. Problem is, I have no clue how it works. Does anyone have any info on how to get this thing running?

I live in Massachusetts. A few months ago, the town came by and cut down on a perfectly healthy tree in our yard. They did not give us any notice and never officially informed me. Because there is a new development going in across the street, we assumed it was to make space for utilities.

Months have passed and it's become apparent to me that there wasn't any actual reason for them to cut this tree down, as it is nowhere near where the utility lines ended up going in. We now have an ugly bare stump in our yard.

My questions are:

  1. Are they allowed to cut trees on an easement for no reason whatsoever? If not, should I complain to the town or seek damages? Who do I complain to?

  2. If they are justified in all this, are they at least responsible for removing this damn stump?

Edit: seems many of you can't read. Zero utilities have gone in where the tree is located.
