Hello all,
Hi all, I have recently moved into a house.
There is a stopcock under the sink but when I moved in they told me there was also a way to shut the
water supply off from outside the house (but they did not explain how so I am trying to work this out in case of emergency and if the stopcock under the sink fails to work).
I am attaching a picture of the water meter box on the side of the house which as you can see has a device next to it with a round plastic area surrounding it and a screw with a cross in the middle of it. Is this the stopcock? This device is quite deep inside the box so if this is the stopcock what tool do I need to turn off the water supply? Do I turn off the stopcock by turning the screw in the middle of this device?
