I apparently don't have a whole house water shut off I can use. (lemmy.world)

This is an odd one. The only whole house shut off is on the city side of my meter and the person from public works I talked to said only the city could operate it and if it were to break while I operated it I could be held financially liable.

Does anyone know of a ballpark price to get a plumber to install on my side of the meter?

Last year a plumber charged me about $300 to have a shut off valve replaced. Took him about an hour.

Thanks for the clear and straightforward answer. 😊

My mother just had a plumber try to charge her that much to replace the valve in the toilet tank. (Not the feeder but the one in the toilet we've all done before in 15 min) she figured out how to DIY it
