Could you turn your mains water off right now? If the answer is no then
it's worth finding out where your main tap is located on your property.
The time spent looking for the main water tap in a plumbing emergency
such as a burst pipe can be the difference between a minor water leak
and a flood.
For houses - turn the water off at the mains by using
the stop cock tap which may be located near the front hose tap, at the
mains near the property boundary on the water meter or underground in an identified chamber.
For units - turn the water off at the mains inlet pipe to the unit by
using the stop cock tap, which may be located near the front hose tap,
near the roof at the front entrance, in an underground pit with a
removable cover or elsewhere—indicated by a number somewhere on the
building.
If the burst pipe is outside the property boundary (eg. on
the footpath) contact Qld Urban Utilities or your local water service
provider then call Fix Your Plumbing
