In the garage you will see a small plastic door. Open it up and you will find a valve....this is the main water line coming into your house. When you leave turn it off, set the hot water heater to off or the lowest temp setting, also turn off your ice maker in the fridge.
The outside sprinklers are non potable water and should not, as you know, be turned off. I would ask a neighbor to check the sprinkler system while you are gone.
When we did our walk thru with the builder he strongley suggested that the water be turned off when leaving for more than a few days. We live on a concrete slab and any significant leak will most likey fill the slab...yuk!
