Burst Pipe in Marcellus
Clean water in Marcellus is OCWA's, not the village's, so a burst is an inside valve first and OCWA if it fails.

What burst and frozen pipes involves in Marcellus


First steps at a Marcellus burst
A pipe has burst in a Marcellus house. Close the valve inside the foundation wall or the one beside the meter; the village sends water issues to OCWA, and OCWA keeps the valve at the road for its own staff. In an older village house, turn the valve slowly: it may be stiff.
