Do you know how plumbing works?
Do you think there is a valve on the pipe to the street?
I do know how plumbing works. And actually there ARE valves to cut off the water flow on a property, both in the inbound and sewage. These are important valves both for non payment and dealing with breakage. Keeping in mind the cops are the cops after all and get to tell the water department what to do. None of what I’m telling you is new. Cutting off the water before a drug bust was common practice in the 80s.
