Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do you need to shut off the water main?

To safely shut off the water main, you will need a water main shut-off tool. This implement is designed to precisely fit into the valve located at the water meter, enabling you to easily turn it and cut the water supply off.

What is a water shut off wrench?

It is just another name for a water main shut-off tool and both terms are often used interchangeably. Other alternative names for a water main shut-off tool/wrench are “curb key” or a “water key”.

How do I open my water meter cover?

The best way is to use a water meter tool, which is designed to fit into the cover’s slot or a lifting hole (depending on the water meter design), enabling you to lift the cover up with next to effort without risking damaging it.

What can I use instead of a water key?

While there are many guides on the Internet detailing how to use wrenches or pliers (or the combination of thereof) instead of a dedicated water meter tool, doing so is not recommended under any circumstances. Improvised solutions carry a massive risk of damaging the valve or the water meter which can lead to costly repairs. What’s worse, using improvised tools can also lead to personal injury, leading to long recovery times and hefty medical bills. Therefore, always use a dedicated water meter tool or, if you don’t have one available, opt for professional assistance to minimize the risks.
