Generally, you will need to cut the main water supply. This is normally in the front lawn, inside of a steel box. If you have a basement, it may be there. The main valve is square shaped and requires a tool called a water key. It is a long T shaped wrench. These can be bought at some hardware stores for $10 to $15. The other option would be to call the city Water Works. They will generally shut it off and back on, free of charge.
