<p>Oh, if you have not had to shut the water off before, it is usually done in one of a couple places.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would first find your water meter. Look at the water line coming out of the meter pointing towards your house. If there is a valve on the line, you would turn it here. This usually requires a T-wrench, but a large pair of pliers or channel locks will work if you can get them in the vault.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If no valve here, there is probably a shut off inside the house near where the water line enters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is all assuming that you do not have internal shut off valves that isolate sections of the house.</p>
