If a water pipe breaks in your home, do you know where your shut-off valve is located? Find it so you are prepared to turn the water off in a hurry during an emergency. Water damage can happen very quickly and time is of the essence if a pipe breaks.
- In the garage, near the water heater or laundry hookup
- In the crawl space or basement, where the waterline enters the home
- Outside near the foundation, often protected by a concrete ring or clay pipe
If you can’t find your waterline shut-off valve, you should have one installed.
If you need to shut your water off at the meter, please call:
During Business Hours: (503) 615-6700
After Business Hours: (503) 629-0111
Please do not tamper with the meter yourself unless you are willing to assume liability for damages.
Shut-off valves come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Here are some examples as a guideline, but there are plenty more possibilities out there.
