Turning it fully closed and back open once a year keeps the stem from seizing, and the fall is a sensible time since it comes before the freezing weather. If the handle groans or weeps at the packing nut, stop and leave it partly open. Discovering a bad valve on a mild day beats discovering it during a break.

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 Wallkill and one in Otisville can face different obligations.

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.

Both exist across this part of the state, and the answer often changes street by street rather than town by town. Homes on the older built-up streets tend to be on a public main, while properties further out toward Otisville run their own wells. What you are on decides whether a curb stop exists at all.
