How to Turn Off your Water

Most homes have a shut-off valve where the water line enters the house. Find this valve and make sure it closes easily. Valves close in a clockwise direction. Use this valve in case of an emergency or to make necessary plumbing repairs.

To ensure valves work efficiently they should be exercised routinely and replaced if defective.

Know where your water meter is located. It’s usually in a small concrete vault near the street. If necessary, you may shut-off you water supply there.

To shut off the water at the meter box, lift the lid off the meter vault by using a large screwdriver.

Turn the valve on the house side of the meter clockwise ¼ of a turn to shut off the water.
