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.

Planning

Oil or propane: the Jamesville tank that is not a utility call

Jamesville is a hamlet with no village government and no Census place of its own, so the closest local picture comes from its ZIP code, 13078: an estimated 3,832 homes with a 1980 median build year, mostly owner occupied, and about 13 percent heating with fuel oil and 7 percent with bottled or LP gas. That puts a real share of Jamesville water heaters on a delivered fuel, and it changes the safety step. If an oil or propane water heater is leaking or the flame looks wrong, shut the appliance off at its own control, close the cold inlet, and keep your fuel supplier's emergency number beside the plumber's, because an oil or propane water heater may not be a National Grid call at all. When the power is out and a pump or heater needs running, do not bring a generator or any fuel burning device into the house, the basement or the garage. For sewage coming up, a Jamesville home on the public sewer calls WEP, which takes backup calls at any hour to check the public side first; WEP tells a home not on public sewer to go straight to a licensed plumber or service expert.
