So before you have a situation like this, make
sure that you know where your main water shut off valve is, and that it works. I
can not say where your valve is, so you will have to look for it your self. if
you have town or city water chances are you will have a water meter, that is
where your main valve should be, If it is in a difficult place to get to you
should have a plumber come in and relocate the main valve to a more accessible
place and change it to a Ball Valve. ( a ball valve has a lever type handle that
turns the water off with just 1/4 turn) some towns don't have meters so you
would have to look for the electric ground. Most electricians run a ground wire
to the main water line where it first comes into the house. Have
a
professional
locate
it
for
you
and
make
sure
it
is
in
good
working
order.

If you are on a well look for a well tank.
some tanks are in well houses and some tank are buried, but if all else fails
you can always turn the power to the pump Off.
About those hoses don't leave the water to
your washing machine on when you are not using them. turn the water off to them
when not in use.
