My local hall has an outside tap. To avoid massive water bills through the local miscreants turning it and leaving it running all night/weekend we have taken to turning off a valve inside the building. This year we have planted a collection of wildflowers and others which until they are established need watering.
The cleaning lady is happy to do the watering but she isn't very tall and can't reach the inside shut off valve.

Just to ask the bleeding obvious, the inside valve can't be moved/ add a
second valve lower down/ buy her a step stool?


I'm thinking if the outside tap was operated by a key (Yale type) it would simplify the task. The only key operated valves Google seems to be able to find are simple, square/triangle lockshield types.

I expect a triangular tap head will defeat the local yoofs. Given that
the downside risk is say £10 worth of water, is it worth doing anything
more complicated until you've tried that?



Does anyone know if what I'm seeking is available?
