The only place I have ever had a second shut-off valve at the house
was when we had a basement. None of the other houses had one,
including the one we are living in now.

Some friends have recently acquired a new house in a modular
community. I was surprised to find that the only way to shut off the
water supply to the house is from the street! All the houses on the
street are set up the same way!
My question is this: Is this common practice? And, if so, is the
only reason it is done is to save 10 bucks on a valve?
Help much appreciated.
