You can turn it off at the breaker or there might be an emergency shut off
switch near the tank.

Tom,--
Hope I am not repeating this question. I have been reading different
suggestions, and I am in a quandary. I would appreciate your advice.
While waiting for water to be restored, should we leave indoor faucets
open or closed? Hot? Cold? All faucets?
Water is not turned off at the street.
Thank you,
Mandy Colbert

A WORD OF CAUTION ON WATER:
To prevent pipes bursting from water freezing in them, apparently people
are being told to turn your water off at the street, then open faucets in
your house. There is a potential danger in this. If you turn on two or
more hot water faucets, it is then possible that air will get in your
electric water heater. If this happens you can/WILL burn out the heating
elements in the water heater. If you don't open a faucet and ice forms in
the pipes, the pressure can build up and still burst the pipes. so Turn
off your water heater too.
Summarizing:
IF YOU TURN THE WATER OFF AT THE STREET, BE SURE TO TURN OFF YOUR WATER
HEATER, AND OPEN AT LEAST ONE COLD AND ONE HOT WATER FAUCET.

WHEN WATER DOES COME BACK ON, RUN HOT WATER FAUCETS LONG ENOUGH TO GET
RID OF AIR IN THE PIPES AND WATER HEATER BEFORE TURNING THE WATER HEATER
BACK ON.

Kind offer! We are scooping snow, melting it, & using it to flush. We
drew water yesterday & boiled, but since don’t know how long water outage
will last, I’m keeping your offer in mind. Thank you! …Margaret on
