I apparently don't have a whole house water shut off I can use. - eviltoast

This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable.

Does anyone know of a ballpark price to get a plumber to install on my side of the meter?

    Yeh I think these are currently like $400-500 here in Canada. My boss just ordered one (or something similar), interested to see how they function.

    I had to install shutoffs in a unit this week and building management refused to shut the water off (for the floor).

    I used a Rigid Super Freeze and it worked really well. Installed all 5 shutoffs without a disaster.

    Full disclosure, I’m a carpenter/project manager, not a plumber by trade.

    Rented from United Rentals, which is North America-wide I believe.
