Hi,

I need to replace the valves right where the water service comes in.
My water company turns the water off for free and then turns it on for
$50. So it's much cheaper than hiring a plumber for the job.

One thing that I am not sure about is this. Once the water is turned
off, how will I be able to get all the water out of the pipe (that
leads to the street) so I can do my soldering?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
