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
