How to Shutoff Locally at the Sink
 In order to shut off water to the entire house look for a main valve which should be usually located outside or in the basement on an outside wall. In case your home or apt does not have a basement the valve may be located outside. There should also be a main valve near the street or sidewalk in front of your house, although it may require a special tool to turn off this valve. Often this water shut-off valve is located in a buried box with a cement or metal lid.
- After you've loacted the shutoff valve turn off the water supply to a plumbing fixture
- As mentioned above the valve will most likely be located directly under the fixture of a sink or a toilet.
- Once located, turn off the appropriate valve.
