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 Pulaski and one in Lacona can face different obligations.

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 Pulaski unoccupied should also know where the curb stop is as a second line of defense.

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.

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.
