Hi,

I need to shut off the mains supply at the on-street stopcock - I cannot locate an internal stopcock. The house has had a water meter installed by Veolia. When you lift the lid on the street the meter is visible and beside this is a large white plastic fitting with what looks like a tap on the top.

The fitting/tap are about 1 to 1.5 metres below street level so I am not able to reach it by hand. Any idea on the type of key I need to turn this tap?

Thanks,

EE.
