Exactly!!

Not sure if everyone house has water cutoff valve on it, from street to ur house, most have by curb or sidewalk , I know where pipe is but never see cutoff valve, unless under grass, just wonder if u have house in town if always a cutoff valve ?

Was stupid me talk city clerk an say that didn't think cutoff valve, I belive she say that be straighten out next summer, I guess not make sense or wouldn't ask me have one put in an dug out if go be all rip out in less year an do it again, just wonder if any house in any town has one for sure ? I don't know, never seen it unless under sod

He's asking about his water shut off valve and if he has one.

Dave, it's possible but highly unlikely you don't have one. Here in most places I work they try to bury the covers at or just below grade, you dont want the lawnmower to hit it. Frost can sometimes lift the top section back up.

Do you have a sidewalk? Most of the shutoffs I've seen are on the street side of the sidewalk. Ours was buried like you said, under the sod. I found it quickly using a metal detector. When we replaced our sidewalk, we raised the cap for the shutoff valve to be above the sod and just below the surface of the sidewalk.

If you want to know where your shutoff valve is, don't pay your water bill. The city will find it for you when they shut off your water.

Take a driver or rebar and poke around the yard, you’ll hear/feel it when you hit it. Every house/yard has one.

Ya probly

Looks like this: Sorry got them mixed up! No this is one for sewer breather. Right pic below for water valve.

When I lived in town, mine was a trip hazard. Was in city right a way along sidewalk and stuck up 4 inches. Can't tell you how many times in 20 years I tripped over it or mowed around it.

It is probably buried just under the soil. Metal detector will find it.

The vast majority I see here in MN look like this.

Frost can lift them, the top section of the riser slides inside of the lower section. Mine likes to lift once in awhile, a couple taps with a two pound hammer drives it back down.

It was down as far as it could go. Company i work for does concrete and excavation. It got fixed right before I sold it, as the knuckleheads directional boring hit my service line. Hacks couldn't patch the sidewalk panels, looked like they poured with an 8" slump then broomed it.

Water valve: This is neighbors. Mine is under grass right beside sewer breather/cleanout.

Call in a locate. Ask to have the service and main located.

It well be next summer, call in to ask that in this town is gonna do nothing but make the ones in city mad because ask them do some more work, seems to me I was cut grass an looking down a number yrs ago in yard by water line an see something hidden down underneath or caught glimpse something, probly is it, copper lines, I not for stupid street replacement as no worse anywhere else an better someplaces, I not refinancing house over it an bill can go on courthouse on taxes , they just got done tear everthing up in front with stupid micro line for cable or pH or whatever for windstream maybe, I had them for few months years ago an nothing problems an billing an want me hookuk , I think got bill for $500 a told them stuff it an get it off house an pay nothing, I don't think it even work, it was more worthless then Mediacom , whatever kind line it is, the city want sell it service an I not get it, they stuff it
