I apparently don't have a whole house water shut off I can use. (lemmy.world)

This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable.

Does anyone know of a ballpark price to get a plumber to install on my side of the meter?

Don't use a ball valve unless you can trust your self to always do it slowly the shock to the system if you slam it closed can break old lines. The proper valve to install is a globe valve.
