Water Shut-offs, Sewer
Clean-outs and Pilot Lights
The plastic coated red or yellow handled water shut-offs for each building are generally located in either the lower level A or B units in the utility closet; otherwise, the water will need to be turned-off in the meter pit outside. Always make a first and immediate attempt to shut the water off closest to the source of the leak, i.e. toilet, sink, water heater water turn-off.
The sewer clean-outs are located in the garage of the lower level A and B units. It is usually a black plastic pipe approximately 3” in circumference. Please leave access to these so that they are available in the event of a sewer blockage. The two upper units directly above the lower level unit are generally tied together. Only toilet paper (fast bio-degrading products) should be flushed. Items such as baby wipes and paper towels may stick to the interior of the pipe causing other waste to stick, creating a blockage resulting in a back-up in one or more units.
The gas water heaters have lighting instructions on them should the pilot light ever go out. On occasion the pilot light on the gas fireplaces may also go out. In this instance, please refer to your original manual, contact the manufacturer or enlist the assistance of a professional. The gas water heaters may require you to prime (push up & down) the gas knob while in the light pilot position.
