How to Shut Water Off to Your House...MUST HAVE TOOL!

What happens here

To find the water meter box, look for utility markings on the street or curb. Blue markings typically indicate water lines. Follow these markings in a straight line towards your property to find the meter box, which is usually a concrete or metal box set into the ground with a lid. Lift the lid to expose the water meter and valve.

What they say

Hide

You can make one. If you're a welder, like make one of these things. Hook it up. So in my area, if we're standing at the street, and we see these lines, if you actually just walk towards the property, then you're going to eventually run into the meter box. This is what that's saying. And butter being mine, my neighbors. So this is our water meter. It's an analog style water meter. That means it's got a dial, and it spins and counts, and right down here, that is our valve.
