Water not only creates property damage, but it can also cause electrocution if electrical wires energize it.
An inside water shutoff is usually located in the basement, garage, or alley. The inside water shutoff is located on a riser pipe and is usually a red or yellow wheel.
In either case, to shut off the water, turn wheel clockwise until off. Shut off the water when there is a severe leak inside the building.
