  Turning Your Gas off at the Gas Meter  

  Knowing the location of your main shutoff valve will help you turn off the gas supply to your entire home quickly, if that's ever needed. In general, you don't need to shut off a gas meter unless there is a strong odor or sound of escaping gas or if there is major damage to the building. If your gas is turned off, there may be a considerable delay before Sheffield Utilities can turn your service on, but don't turn it on yourself. Leave it off until service can be reestablished safely by a Sheffield Utilities service person or other qualified professional.
  • Know where your main shutoff valve is located.
  • Keep a wrench handy to turn off the gas.
