🚨 West Valley Emergency Water Shutoff Protocol
- 1. Locate main shutoff valve: Search near the front basement wall, utility closet, or near the water heater where the main supply line enters.
- 2. Turn valve knob off: Rotate lever handles 90 degrees until perpendicular to the pipe, or turn wheel handles clockwise until tight.
