Identify every control point
Record meters, backflow devices, main shutoffs, master valves, and isolation valves.
What belongs in the plan?
At minimum, document the water source, backflow device, main and isolation shutoffs, access route, required key or tool, downstream areas, confirmation photos, last test date, and emergency contacts.
The record should stay with the property—not only with a manager, board member, or landscape contractor.
Emergency shutoff checklist
Explain access
Add gate instructions, keys, tools, landmarks, and a clear confirmation photo.
Show downstream impact
Link each shutoff to the buildings, zones, lines, or equipment it affects.
Test and date the record
Record who verified operation, when it was tested, and any repair still required.
See the plan in context.
Open the read-only example property and select “Emergency leak” to see how shutoff-critical information is presented.
