A plumber needs to shut off water at the meter but is unsure of the protocol, worried about liability if they break the valve, and wants to know if the water department will help or if a permit is needed.

No clear, accessible guide exists for plumbers on how to safely shut off municipal water meters without liability, nor a service to coordinate with water departments for temporary shutoffs.
