    If this is located on the pressure side of the pump, (You are on a pump aren't you?) then wouldn't that be 6the house shut off? Where's the valve leaking from? The stem? A connection? Back to you, Tom

    Every house should have shut off valve outside, either on the side-front or in the front. Look in the bushes. If there is no shut off valve than you will have to shut it off at the curb. That may require large wrench to do that. Milo
