Unless someone has done an unusually great job with the Plumbing the only shut off will be the main house service. search around the house usually near the outside faucet and if you find shutoffs turn on the faucet slightly and close the shutoffs using trial and error to find the right one. if it doesnt work use the good answer above. lots of luck.

∙ 15y agoare you taking about irrigation or the house's main feed?
Either way, you need to find the valve.
If its your house you need to turn off you need to find your main valve, likely in a crawl space or if you're lucky in a utility box. It may require a water key from the city.
If its irrigation, you need to find the valve if its at your home. its possible if you are on a
city system the valve is in a central location for a whole neighborhood. and therfore you can not access it.
Either way you likely will need to call the city water dept to help you.

∙ 15y agoThere should be a shut-off valve on the pipe between the street supply and your house. It's probably covered by a green plastic cap. Lift it off. There is a valve in there. Turn the valve 90 degrees. That's a quarter turn of a full circle. Test to see if your water shut off. If not, call the water department.

Should you let outside faucets drip in freezing weather?
No, eventually the water will freeze and then break the faucet. Outside faucets should be sill cocks which shut off inside the house. If it is a regular faucet, the water should be shut off to that line during winter.
How do you get the outside tap to stop dripping after turning off water inside for the winter?
Outside Tap? outside faucet?/outside hosebibb?/outside spigot? well in most cases you are referring to the outside faucet that is dripping and I am guessing you have a ball valve or gate valve inside and when you shut of the ball/gate valve your outside faucet is still dripping and this means you have a leaky ball/gate valve which are known to leak slightly over the years and if your outside faucet is shutoff , then you need new seals in your outside faucet too. The easyest way to stop your leak is replace or repair your outside faucet if its a freezeless one. (just make sure your outside faucet has grade to drain the water out after you shut it off)
Why will WATER NOT COME OUT OF MY FAUCET?
The water meter is shut off? The main water line is shut off? The valve for that faucet is turned off? The waterline is made of galvanized piping and has corroded shut? Aerator is clogged, remove and clean or replace.
Why would a outside water faucet loose all water pressure and when turned on no water comes out?
Supply line clogged. The end of the stem where the washer is may have broken off so that the faucet isn't really opening. Shut the water off and take the stem out of the faucet and see what it looks like.
Why does the water stop flowing in a new faucet after a few minutes?
I have seen this type of thing happen when there is a bit of junk in a line that falls back when the flow has stopped, and then move back with the flow to stop it when it gets to a point where the water is restricted. More often, I have seen it to be just something odd about the faucet making it creep off from the flow of the water going through it.
How do you replace an outdoor faucet?
Shut of the water to the faucet. If a local shut off is not present then the main house shut off will have to be used, or the cutoff at the meter. unless plastic pipe is used then the faucet screws onto the water pipe. It will probably take a pipe wrench on the pipe and the faucet to break it free. use Teflon tape to cover the pipe threads before screwing on the new faucet. Turn the water back on and check for leaks.
Why does my New faucet makes clunking noise?
There was air in the line. When you turn off the water with the faucet running make sure you turn it back on with the faucet open. That will release any air caught in the lines. That faucet shut with one on a lower floor on and restoring water does not work. Fast and easy. 1. turn on affected faucet 2. shut off water 3. turn water back on 4. faucet should be running smoothly now
Why did your water pressure go down after changing your faucet?
Take the screen out in the end of the spout. Lots of times, minerals or rust in the line will break loose when you shut the water off and work on a line and plug the screen. The new faucet may have a flow restrictor in it that the old one didn't have.
How do you drain water from the hot water tank faucet?
If electric shut off the current to the elements, if gas shut off the gas valve. Open a hot water faucet to give it air, open the drain valve on the bottom of the heater.
Why is the water flow in your new bathroom faucet low when you turn on the hot water?
Check the shut-off valve for the hot water side that's under the sink and make sure it's fully open.BECAUSEThe installer did NOT remove the aerator prior to the installation and the flow restrictor is blocked
Why is a faucet handle a screw?
When you shut the faucet off, the screw pushes a rubber washer against the opening inside the faucet and stops the water. The screw moves in and out in the handle to do this.
Why outdoor water faucet will not drain even when the water supply valve is shut off?
Shutting off the valve doesn't drain anything. You need to open something lower than the faucet and open that faucet to let air take the place of the water.
