If your concern is the big valve in your home that shuts off water to your home, then the next shutoff valve is located in your front yard where your water meter is. You can shut off the water there. Look for what looks like a small manhole cover with a nut on it. Open it up, find the valve and turn it off. If it is the valve in your yard then that is the water company's problem. Only they can shut off valves further up the line to repair that one, and besides it's their equipment.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Can't answer you for certain without knowing why the water is off and what state you are in. If the water is off for emergency repairs, it usually cannot be off for more than 24 hours. If it is off due to landlord's negligence or non-payment, then it depends on what state you are in. In some states, it is completely illegal to ever shut off the water for any reason other than emergency repairs, regardless of whether the tenant is paying their bill.
