Five quick questions about what the water is doing and whether it has stopped, then your details. It takes about a minute, and the answers go to a person who reads them.

Question 1What is happening right now?
Question 2Has the water stopped?

If water under pressure is still running, closing the main shutoff inside the house, where the supply pipe comes through the wall, stops it. Leave the valve at the street alone: only the water utility's own staff may operate it.

Question 3Is anything near electricity or gas?

If you smell gas, leave the house first, then phone the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not touch water that is near outlets or the electrical panel.

Question 4Whose home is it?

In a rental the landlord is usually responsible for the plumbing and for keeping hot water running, so it helps to know who needs to hear about this.

Question 5Are you thinking of making an insurance claim?

New York's insurance regulator advises keeping receipts for temporary fixes and holding off permanent repairs until the insurer has had the chance to inspect. Knowing this now shapes what gets done tonight and what waits.

Local Context

First steps at a Baldwinsville water heater

The water heater is leaking in a Baldwinsville house. If it is electric, switch off its breaker, but only standing somewhere dry; if it is gas, turn the control to off. Then close the cold valve on top of the tank and keep clear of the hot water.

Baldwinsville apartments and a failed tank

Nearly half of village households rent. A tenant makes the tank safe and tells the landlord in writing that night; the replacement is the owner's decision and needs a county permit first.

Baldwinsville water heater question

The panel is near the water. Should I go to it?

Not if it means standing in water. The CDC's advice is to turn power off at the main breaker, but only when you can do it safely.
