Wayne Wildermuth Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Is it acceptable for a condominium building with 3 stories of units to have a common shutoff for water supply, or does each individual unit have to have it's own shutoff inside the unit? Also, where can I find this info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 My experience is admittedly limited. But the majority of the condo buildings I see do not have individual shutoffs for each unit. If there's a newer rule saying this is a no-no, it'll just prove there's even more I don't know. Wouldn't suprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, where can I find this info? I don't know what's required. I almost always find shut-off valves for individual units though. Sometimes they're behind access panels that are easy to miss. When I don't find a shut off, I tell people to ask the association to tell them where it is. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Jim's advice is the good stuff. Knowing where the main water shutoff is for any property is one of those "got to know" things. If I can't find it, I always tell folks to ask where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
