A valve that will not seal fully is telling you the seat is worn, and it means you cannot count on it to isolate the house for repair work. Plumbers usually replace rather than rebuild an old one, because parts for antique valves are scarce. Until then the curb stop is your real shutoff.

It usually sits in a small metal or plastic box set flush with the ground between the sidewalk and the street, often in the grass strip. Lids get paved over, sodded over or buried by landscaping, which is the usual reason nobody can find one during an emergency. Marking it while the ground is soft saves a lot of digging later.

Most older houses have a dedicated valve on the interior side of each sill cock, often in the basement ceiling near where the pipe passes through the rim joist. Frost-free hydrants skip that valve, but they only drain properly with the hose disconnected. If you cannot find an interior valve, the main is the fallback.

The property owner is responsible for the lateral from the house out to the main in nearly every community around here, including the section under the road in some of them. That means root intrusion or a collapsed clay section is a homeowner repair. Village rules vary, so a house in Canandaigua and one in Farmington can face different obligations.
