dont most houses have a suutoff valve inside the basement wall area? why go outside to shut off the water? Guess it depends where in this country you live, and whether you have a basement, right?
Thanks. Before seeing this video, I had looked at the meter, but I didn't see any shutoff valve. After the video I was encouraged to dig away dirt around the meter and lo and behold there was the valve. Only thing was, to turn off the water I had to turn the valve clockwise about 180 degrees, not 90 like I expected.
this is really helpful!
thanks :D

Well be careful. We charge an extra $161 for cut locks. Then we just remove the meter...

Thanks for this video. I could have done without the lengthy introduction, though. =) I had a huge emergency.
