Three Things To Do First

Integer tincidunt. Cras dapibus. Vivamus elementum semper nisi. Aenean vulputate eleifend tellus. Aenean leo ligula, porttitor eu, consequat vitae, eleifend ac, enim. Aliquam lorem ante, dapibus in, viverra quis, feugiat a, tellus.

The stop tap
Turn it clockwise until it stops; the water to the house is off
The fuse board
If water is near a socket or a light, switch the main switch off
The hot water
Turn off the boiler or the immersion heater and open a cold tap to drain the pipes

Phasellus viverra nulla ut metus varius laoreet. Quisque rutrum. Aenean imperdiet. Etiam ultricies nisi vel augue. Curabitur ullamcorper ultricies nisi. Nam eget dui.
