In most homes, your main shutoff valve is located in the garage, utility closet, or where the water supply line enters the crawlspace. For well systems, switch off the dedicated well pump circuit breaker at your electrical panel. For municipal connections, a street-side meter shutoff tool can also be used.
When you call (253) 201-3775, let our dispatcher know your exact address, whether you are on a well or city water, where active leaking or drainage symptoms are occurring, and whether your main shutoff valve is currently open or closed.
