How to shut off / turn on your home's water

Step one
- Find the water Meter
- Remove the lid and grab your meter key
- Turn clockwise until the holes line up

Step Two
- Check and make sure all the plumbing connections are connected before you turn the water back on!!!!
- Slowly turn the valve with your meter key until you hear a "hissing" Sound (No more than 1/8 turn)
Count to 10 then crack it open a little more (No more than 1/8 turn )
- Allow your home to slowly pressurize to prevent an unexpected eruption!
- Once the hissing stops you are good to turn valve fully on

Here is the link for a meter key. Your local Hardware store should carry them as well.
