Reply to comment by balance07 in PSA: Always turn off your house main water supply when you go out of town in the winter by Charlesinrichmond

Truth is even pressurized if you dump 5 gallons it will be a pain in the ass but not a disaster. One room's worth of hardwood floors say

If the line from the city bursts, it'll dump until it's shut off tho, unless I'm missing something?

Yeah but the shut off for that is usually right inside and in truth I've never heard of anything busting there even though the ones a foot in make me a little nervous

Best reason for Street key is how easy it is though unless you have a basement and a quarter turn

Thanks for the reassurance that it's super unlikely that that section would freeze and burst. Def gonna always shut off from street meter from now on.
