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.

Look on the street-facing wall of the basement, close to where the service line comes through the foundation, usually within a few feet of the meter. Homes on a crawlspace often have it near the pressure tank or under the kitchen instead. If the house has been added onto, the valve can end up behind finished wall, which is worth knowing before you need it.

Most water departments do not want homeowners in the curb box, since the valve needs a long key and turning it wrong can damage the utility side. Calling the department is the right move for a planned shutoff. In a genuine emergency, get the water stopped and sort out the paperwork after.

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 Port Leyden run their own wells. What you are on decides whether a curb stop exists at all.
