The valves arent shutting off and must be replaced.
With the water turned off on all the water devices in your house, see if your water meter is still running.
Drain valves are not designed to mist. They are designed to evacuate liquid that is still in the line after the water is turned off. A manufacturer in Arizona (AmFog Nozzle Technologies) has information on their website for drain valves and misting nozzles; their YouTube videos also explain how the drain valves and misting nozzles work.
no as it will burn out the element
Gate valves used to be, now they are being superseded by ball valves.
the disadvantages are that over a period of time gate valves seize and become in operable. also the handles of gate valves corrode quickly and gate valves don't entirely close properly making it difficult to solder. Gate valves are used for positive shut off and Gate valves are not designed for throttling like a globe pattern type . Gate valve fail because the installer has no idea what these types of valves are intended to do such as main steam shut off's or water mains..If properly used and installed correctly these valves last over 100 years under extream conditions
Valves under the sink NO WORK HUH?
All valves are made to be turned on as far as they can be.
With the water turned off on all the water devices in your house, see if your water meter is still running.
depending on what type of faucet you have sometimes you need to close both hot and cold angle stop valves under sink.
The washer in the shut off valve has probably split or come off completely over time.
It could be a number of reasons. Has any of your pipes frozen? Are all of the water valves turned on? Did you pay your water bill?
Find your main water shut off, make sure valve is open wide. check other exsisting shut off valves make sure they are open. With all valves properly open if pressure is still low, call the water supply company and have them check it at the curb.

To efficiently turn off the water under the sink, locate the shut-off valves usually located on the pipes connected to the faucet. Turn the valves clockwise to close them and stop the water flow.
To turn off the water under the bathroom sink, locate the shut-off valves usually located on the pipes beneath the sink. Turn the valves clockwise to close them and stop the water flow.
The faucet may be turned off, but the water could still be running due to a leak in the plumbing system.
if you have water to the rest of the house and its the toilets only then either someone has turned off the valves under the toilets or the fill valves have both failed at the same time. [not very likely!!] cant be much of anything else.
