Find the main shut-off valve where the water line enters the building. It sits on the front basement wall in a rowhouse, near the water heater in a detached house and in a utility closet or with building staff in an apartment.
The property owner is responsible for the service line from the water meter into the house; the Baltimore City Department of Public Works maintains the line to the meter vault, or to the property line where there is no vault. Report water running in the street, a leaking hydrant or a main break to Baltimore City 311 (call 311 or use the 311 app). A leak between the meter and your foundation, or anywhere inside, is a job for a plumber.
