Finding your outside stop tap valve

Your outside stop tap valve is usually located under a cover on the path or the road. If it's not here, it can also be:

  • In the same area as your water meter
  • At the end of your road (this is common in older houses where a supply is shared with neighbours

You shouldn't rely on your outside stop valve to turn the water off inside your home. Using your inside stop valve is the quickest and easiest way to do this.
