Why Your Water Main Curb Stop & Stop Box Matter.

Your curb stop and stop box are how the city or utility shuts water off to your property in an emergency, during repairs, or when work needs to be done on the main water service. When they’re damaged, buried, or seized, it becomes impossible to safely shut off water.

In the Omaha area, red tags and notices are often issued when the utility can’t access or operate the curb stop or when the stop box is too low, too high, or broken. Ignoring those notices can lead to fines or shutoff.

Omaha Drain’s curb stop team locates, exposes, and evaluates the entire assembly — from the curb stop itself to the stop box and connections — so we can recommend the right repair or replacement.

  • • Correct depth and alignment for the stop box at grade
  • • Replace broken rods, keys, or seized curb stop valves
  • • Address main water service leaks discovered during repair

Restore Safe Shutoff

A working curb stop means water can be safely shut off during emergencies and repairs, protecting your home and your neighbors.

Stay in Compliance

Red tags, final notices, and compliance letters are stressful. We repair to code, pull permits, and work with inspectors so you don’t have to.

Avoid Property Damage

Cracked curb stops and damaged mains can leak underground, driving up bills and undermining your yard. We address the root cause, not just the symptom.

Water Main Curb Stop & Stop Box FAQs

How do I know if my curb stop or stop box needs repair?

Common signs include a red tag or notice from MUD or the city, a stop box that’s buried or sitting too high, a curb stop that won’t turn, or a utility telling you they can’t shut your water off. You may also see unexplained wet spots in the yard or high water bills if there’s a leak.

What is the difference between a curb stop and a stop box?

The curb stop is the valve installed on your main water service line, usually near the property line. The stop box is the vertical sleeve and access point that lets the utility reach that valve from the surface. Both need to be in good condition and at the right depth for safe operation.

Who is responsible for curb stop and stop box repairs?

Responsibility can depend on local rules and where the damage occurs. In many cases, the property owner is responsible for repairs on their service line and stop box. If you’re unsure, we can review your notice and help you understand what’s being requested and what we can take care of.

Do you handle permits, inspections, and coordination with MUD or the city?

Yes. We routinely pull permits, schedule inspections, and coordinate with utilities for curb stop and main water service work. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.

Can you repair the curb stop the same day?

For simple issues, we can often complete the repair in a single visit. If permits, shutoffs, or utility coordination are required, we’ll move quickly to get everything scheduled and keep you updated on timing from start to finish.
