Curb Stops

A water main curb valve, also known as a curb stop box is used to control the water supply from the city water main to inside a home or building. Curb stops are pipes in the ground that allow the Water Department to turn the water on or off to your home or business.  Please do not try to turn the water off yourself or let the plumber. 

If your curb stop is sticking out o f the ground causing a tripping hazard or interfering with lawn mowing please call the Water Department at 248-557-2600 ext. 221.
