The water mains can be found where the main supply meets the domestic supply in a house. Normally located from either a basement or ground level mostly however
found in a kitchen (UK) but this is not a rule of thumb. You can either turn the water on or off by using the stop cock.If you are unsure consult a plumber. You can also contact your water supplier or local planning authority who may be able to help. In case of an emergency water companies can disconnect the supply from the suppliers stop cock in the street from the main supply line. It is a good idea when you do find your stop cock is to clearly mark it as such. For not only your households future reference but anyone who may live in the property after you. If you are a local authority or housing association or other tennant your landlord will also know where your stop cock is located within your property.
