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.
It does, because older service lines are more fragile and a hard shutoff can disturb a line that was holding fine. Utilities in several communities are replacing lead services, and that work usually includes a new curb stop and a new valve at the house. Ask the water department whether your address is on their inventory.
The homeowner almost always owns the service line from the curb stop to the meter, while the utility keeps the main under the street. That split is why a leak in the yard lands on you and a leak in the road does not. Rules differ from one village to the next, so a home in Evans Mills may sit under a different ownership line than one a few miles away.
Yes, closing the main and draining the system is the standard move for an empty house through a cold stretch, and it removes the risk of a split line running for days. Heat left on low is not a substitute if the power goes out. Anyone leaving a place near Evans Mills unoccupied should also know where the curb stop is as a second line of defense.
