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.
1 On the other side of the water meter is another shutoff valve. 2  To shut off the water to the house, turn off the valve located BEFORE the water meter, on the supply side.hen you need to shut the water supply off to the entire house or when a local plumbing fixture has no local shutoff valve, the place to go is your home's water meter. 1  At the water meter you'll find a water supply line coming into the house from the outside.
