I apparently don't have a whole house water shut off I can use. (self.homeimprovement)

This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable.

Does anyone know of a ballpark price to get a plumber to install on my side of the meter?

This is great info. I’m basically in OPs same situation and I do have a water softener. I will be checking this out tomorrow for sure…

Thanks 🙏

Just shut the water off at the street and put a shutoff on your main before it enters the house. Worth doing if you ever have a need for it should ideally be right before a hose bib so you can drain your line.
