Lyon Township

The water shut off lid is four-inch round lid that covers a valve called a curb stop because it typically is found near the curb line, and, when closed, stops the flow of water into your home.

The valve is buried below the ground to protect it from freezing. This valve serves an important purpose. It is the main shut off to your water supply for repair or during an emergency situation. Please make sure this lid is free of debris, mulch or other landscaping materials. Damaging or burying this lid could mean higher costs for you because it’s harder to locate, dig up and repair.
