my house is in Del Mar, south of spanish springs. it is stick built. I cannot find the water shut off valve (in or near the house). The only one I have is at the curb near the meter. has anyone else had this problem?

Never had this problem in Florida but had a terrible problem in Ohio. Our copper plumbing started leaking on ever side of the house, as
also was replacing waters every 3 yrs. We lived 1 block from water treatment plant & they said we had a lot of oxygen in our lines because the water from treatment couldn’t dispell oxygen from lines in that short of distance. So I had copper pipes breaking I replace them with plastic as they sprung leaks, never had issues since then. Florida might have another kind of water issue. That’s all I can tell you! Is any of your neighbors having copper pipe problems? If not find out if they have copper plumbing, if they have copper pipes, maybe you have another kind of problem. Hope you get it figured out, good luck!
