Shut off valve is closed. If not that and the toilet fill valve is the type that has a float the moves up and down on a shaft, you need to replace the washer in the top of the fill valve. Shut the water off, hold the stem of the valve and turn the head of the valve 1/8 turn counter clockwise. The washer is under the head, it is about the size of a quarter, black with a small rod sticking out of the center.

Some fill valves have a float on the side that pivots on top of the stem to shut the water off. There is a cover over the head, then remove the float and turn the top of the valve. Same type of washer underneath.

There is no water, or water pressure reaching the faucet. This could be that your local water service was shut off; either from no payment, or to fix water lines - to, failure of your well (if you are on a well service) or a rupture of your main supply pipe (of such a severalty that you are getting no pressure).

Is the water heater working? The tank itself should be warm if it is. If you have cold water at the faucets then it's either a closed valve on the heater or it isn't working.

Thanks Lazuruslong, but that was neither my problem when it happened to me nor any kind of solution.

If there is no water coming from the the hot water taps, but there is water coming from the cold water taps and no one has turned off the (small black round) tap feeding the hot water tank, then the most likely problem is that the water has frozen in the section of pipe leading into the tank.

The solution is to wrap an old towel around that section of pipe and pour boiling water over the towel a few times. This should thaw the ice in the pipe enough to get the water moving. Once water starts coming through the hot water tap the ice will dissolve.

Don't forget to remove the old towel when the water is flowing again.

To prevent water from freezing in the pipe leading to the hot water tank; cover the section of pipe with something to insulate it from the cold. Hardware and Plumbing supply stores sell water pipe insulation (waterproof black foam rubber tube with a split down one side) which you can place over the pipe with the split pointing down. You can use scissors to cut holes for taps, etc. I then taped the insulation in place with thin PVC tape (easy to remove, works wet, weathers well).

Please note that hot water can only come out of the tank if cold water can get in.

The most obvious answer is that the water has been turned off outside the house. Typically, the water dept. does this if there's a billing problem.
