Much more often than should be the case, I am called upon to address an emergency situation involving a water leak in a home in which the homeowner doesn't know how to shut off the water supply. Knowing the location of the supply shut off for your home or place of business is as important as knowing where the breaker/fuse box is.
Granted, in our part of the world, the water shut off can be in a location with difficult access such as a crawl space or behind the washing machine or buried in the yard. Regardless of its location its important to know. I have seen far to many basements turned into swimming pools.
If you don't know, find out; if you cant find it get help doings so or have one installed; it could mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major water damage catastrophe.
