Water Shut-Off at House

Know your shut-off location before you need it

In the event of a plumbing emergency or repair, it is important to know where your home’s main water shut-off valve is located. The shut-off is typically found near your water meter, at the front of your property close to the street or sidewalk.

If you are unable to locate your shut-off or need assistance, please contact our office and we will be happy to help.
