Find Your Water Meter
The first step is to find your water meter, as the water shut-off valve is usually nearby. If you live in a colder climate, odds are the valve is located inside your home. You may see a pipe coming out from the foundation. Your water meter should be attached to the piping. Directly above is where you would find the water shut-off valve. Turn the valve clockwise.
