Locate Your Water Main Valves & Utility Shut-Off in Case of an Emergency

 

Know Your Water Main Valves: ​If you live in a single-family home, take a moment to locate your home's water main valves—typically found on the side of the house. Knowing where these valves are and how to operate them is essential in the event of a plumbing emergency.

​

There are two main valves to be aware of:

• Domestic Water Main Valve – Shuts off all water to your home.

• Irrigation Water Main Valve – Controls water flow to your irrigation system.

 

In the event of an after-hours emergency, quickly shutting off the appropriate valve can help prevent water damage and costly repairs.

• For issues inside the home, turn off the domestic water valve.

• For irrigation leaks, shut off the irrigation valve and email management at thecove@landmarklimited.net

​Locate and Understand Your Utility Shut-Offs: It’s equally important to know where your gas shut-off and electrical panel are located. Make sure all household members know how to access and safely operate these in case of emergencies such as gas leaks or electrical problems. Fast action can help reduce risks, prevent damage, and ensure everyone’s safety.

​

Being Prepared Matters: Taking a few minutes now to understand your home’s utility systems can save you time, money, and stress later. It’s a simple but powerful way to protect your home, your family, and your peace of mind.
