Water Mains Tap

Do you know how to turn off your water supply ?

We have a stopcock tap in the house (a pipe in a wall section and is difficult to get at). But the one you should really know about is the feed from the water supplier.

OUTSIDE STOP TAP

If you have a water emergency you may need to turn off your water mains supply in a hurry. This is usually done by turning off your OUTSIDE STOP TAP or your water stopcock in the house.

The OUTSIDE STOP TAP is sometimes shared by more than one abode.

Depending on where you live you may have a different stopcock. For some you will need a long socket with a handle to open/close stopcock. Also best to know where your inside the house water mains stopcock is. Find it and check it works before you have an emergency.
