What You Should Know
The valves will be installed below ground.
In order to shut off your water, you must get down on your hands and
knees, open a plastic box, and reach down into a hole to shut off this
valve.
In Florida, we have snakes, poisonous frogs, etc.
I am a plumber; when I need to stick my hand into a below ground
box, I use a thick leather glove.
After a rain, you would be amazed to see what’s swimming in these
boxes.
Don’t forget, when you want to turn the water back on, you must repeat
this process.
Let Me Make a Less Expensive Suggestion
We are State Licensed Plumbers. My employee comes to your building.
We examine every water heater and toilet, give you a written analysis,

Everybody’s talking about health care these days. But what are they doing
about it?
At CarePlus, we believe the best way to keep costs down is to keep
our members healthy. So we encourage the kind of lifestyle that keeps you
out of the doctor’s office, except for routine visits. The kind of health care
that makes it possible for you to take fewer medications, rather than more.
Health care that puts the focus on prevention instead
of fixing what’s wrong.
That’s the kind of health care we believe in– the kind that’s
better for everyone, because it concentrates on health.
