Market figures, not a quote.
In a Baltimore rowhouse, the main shut-off valve is usually on the basement wall facing the street, where the water line comes in from the meter at the curb. The meter and valves in the curb vault are City equipment; call 311 when the water has to be shut off there.
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 outdoor lines up to and including the meter. 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.
