In older houses it sits inside on the service line just past the main shutoff, often in the basement near the front wall. Newer installations and some rural services put the meter in an outdoor pit near the property line instead. Either way, the valve on the street side of the meter is the one that isolates the whole house.

That means the valve has failed internally, and the curb stop at the street becomes the only shutoff you have. Get the water department out to close it so the house can be isolated, then have the interior valve replaced before the next cold stretch. A house without a working main valve has no defense against a burst line.

It is common on gate valves that have sat untouched for decades, since the stem corrodes in place and the handle can shear off under force. Forcing it is how a slow problem becomes a flood. A plumber can put in a quarter-turn ball valve, which stays workable and gives you a clear open or closed position.

Not quite, because there is no curb stop and no utility valve to fall back on. The shutoff you care about is the one on the discharge side of the pressure tank, plus the breaker for the pump. Cutting power to the pump is often the faster stop when a line breaks, and the tank valve isolates the house afterward.
