I apparently don't have a whole house water shut off I can use. (lemmy.world)

This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable.

Does anyone know of a ballpark price to get a plumber to install on my side of the meter?

Mine comes in in our crawl space but I can't get to where it comes in becasue of a sewer line that runs the width of the crawl and I can't fit past it.

And I assume the line branches before it travels up into the walls? Or is there a chance it branches after it leaves the crawl space, in which case you could consider opening a wall for the valve.

From what I can tell it's all done from the crawl and branches off from a central lines to feed the various outlets.
