Regrettably not ... I have looked. The feed to the meter from the mains is under the road. I cannot close and dig up the road. I can shut the hall off but only at the point where the supply enters the building. The run from meter to the building is about 50 yards and is, apparently, our responsibility. The meter is still spinning even when I tried shutting off the supply to the building, suggesting that the leak, if there is one, is somewhere under the car park which is why we need Welsh Water to come and locate it with their specialist equipment. The local plumber says he does not have such equipment but does have divining rods. ::)

God spare me from comical artisans.  Banghead

Bad luck, it was worth a try.
They will of course have to find a way to shut it off before they fix it so there must be a tap somewhere. . .

Indeed and it will be somewhere twixt the mains supply under the road and our meter but only the Water Authority have access to it and the legal right to close the highway to make repairs ..... whilst possibly denying water to a number of houses whilst they do the work. Neither I nor the local plumber can do this. In fact the plumber lives in one of those houses.
Life is never as easy as it ought to be.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
