Then, in December, she transformed her platinum tresses into a rich brown shade, proving she can pull off any color. "Partly because it’s hot, but it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body, and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had," she told the music publication. "I've got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful." "TMI, but self-pleasure is an enormous, enormous part of my life, and a huge, huge help for me," she told Rolling Stone. "People should be jerking it, man. I can’t stress it enough, as somebody with extreme body issues and dysmorphia that I’ve had my entire life."

In the post, Eilish pairs her new bright red roots with black tresses, while she sports a Chicago Bulls basketball jersey and layers of silver chains, the same outfit she wore on stage. The jersey is a fitting choice, considering her set at the Windy City music festival. Billie Eilish had red hair… well, only for a hot second, it appears. The singer apparently wanted to know what all the red hair fuss was about back in November of 2021.

Finneas joins us, taking a seat on the couch next to a Takashi Murakami rainbow pillow. They’re about to play me the album, and they casually let me know I’m one of the first people to hear it — no one besides the Interscope team and two of Eilish’s friends have experienced it. The deadline for mixing and mastering is a week away, so they plan on taking notes. “While you’re hopefully enjoying it, we’ll be sitting here grimacing, writing down what we think could be better about it,” jokes Finneas.

According to Eilish’s British Vogue cover story, it took four dye sessions to erase every trace of her green-and-black ‘do; the star admitted that while she was “ready for it to suck”, she’s surprisingly happy with life as a blonde. But it’s far from the first time the “Bad Guy” hitmaker’s switched up her strands. A bona fide hair-color chameleon, the natural blonde has experimented with shades ranging from blue to black to purple over the past few years.

A pair of sunglasses with orange-red lenses to complement the bold new style, completed the look. In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, April 24, the Grammy winner, 22, shared that her dramatic blonde hair transformation — which she showed off at the Met Gala in 2021 — sparked a sort of identity crisis. She had what she describes as an existential crisis at her 20th-birthday party. “I looked around the room and every single person was an employee of mine,” she says.

"Remember me?" she captioned the image, seeming to hint at the old days when she would color her roots.

Billie Eilish didn't explain her decision to part from the red after just a week. Perhaps it was simply how the dye took to her platinum hair as she transitioned from light to dark. For her set, the 21-year-old paid homage to the city's NBA team, wearing a black and red Chicago Bulls jersey that featured one of Michael Jordan's iconic sports numbers, 23. Billie paired her top with black-and-white basketball shorts, coordinating calf-length socks and her new Nike Air Alpha Force sneakers.

BRIT Awards, 2020

Credits go out to the professional behind the tone, hair colourist Jess Gonzalez. From silvery-grey hair to platinum blonde, here's a look at Billie Eilish's hair evolution over the years. On Jan. 3, the 2022 Grammy nominee found herself looking back on 2021 when she asked her followers to name a date. Once given a specific day, she would share a photo or video captured within those 24 hours. Arguably, Billie Eilish's most infamous beauty look came to us circa summer of 2019. And if, unlike me, you're not a walking, talking bank of celebrity hairspo, the look was her green rooted 'do with jet-black ends.

Blue (

She loves to work out — sometimes obsessively — and she recently got back into dancing, which was her primary creative outlet before she injured her hip at 13. She has traumatic memories — the swimming instructor whose method was to put her under and wait for her to “figure it out,” or the time she got sucked into the surf of the ocean and a lifeguard had to rescue her. She always found the courage to dive in, but for years, the very idea of swimming made her heart beat faster.

March 2021

Her new Nike sneaker incorporates the white/university red color combination famously worn by Michael Jordan at the iconic Bulls-Knicks game on Jan. 29, 1988. The "What Was I Made For?" singer updated the jet black tresses she sported at the Barbie world premiere. After rocking platinum blonde tresses for years, Miley officially returned to her brunette roots to model Gucci's new collection.

The Underworld actress took the plunge and went full blonde, while also debuting a short bob haircut. In January 2024, the Dancing With the Stars personality shared a video of herself cutting her own hair. "Out with the old energy," she wrote, "and in with the new." Less than a month afer chopping her hair into a long bob, Zendaya debuted a honey blonde transformation at the Challengers premiere March 26. To put emphasis on her new color, which was done by colorist Jess Gonzalez, Billie styled her hair in two messy space buns and kept her bangs and a couple of wispy side pieces out. And in true Billie fashion, no detail went unnoticed as she matched her eye-catching 'do to her outfit.

Although her hair was oversized for her, Eilish's ensemble was actually on the more fitted side compared to her recent red-carpet ensembles, though it was still considerably more casual than other attendees. She paired a black-and-white tweed skirt with a blazer, on which she wore the red pin calling for a cease-fire, seen on several celebrities at the award show. Eilish attended the Oscars alongside brother Finneas, with whom she's nominated once again for Best Original Song — this time for “What Was I Made For,” the heartwrenching ballad from the Barbie movie soundtrack. And while she didn't bring back the blonde, ponytailed wig from the song's video, she translated its smooth yet full finish into her long, loose, dark brown hair.

Very few people can casually change the color of their hair as easily as they would change their outfit. However, she just tried out a shade we've never seen on her—until now. It feels like every time we see Billie Eilish, she has a new hair color.

“It was just white snot blowing out, as if my insides were made of white goo,” she tells me later. She heads to her parents’ house and lies on their couch, finding she can barely walk. The weight has left bruises; her throat hurts; she finds it difficult to speak. She does a face mask and washes her ears in three cycles — first with hydrogen peroxide, then alcohol, followed by warm water. On Sunday, February 18, Eilish walked the red carpet for the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, where she was nominated for Pop Artist of the Year and took home the award for TV Performance of the Year for her work in Swarm. However, although that is all cause for celebration, we were, of course, more concerned with the new hair color she wore for the occasion.

During 2021, the “Happier Than Ever” singer, who is known to frequently try out new styles, ended up changing her hair color at least four times. Eilish replied with a clip from that day when she visited a hair salon and turned her bleach blond locks to an auburn red color. She shakes her head and makes a silly face in the video as her stylist uses a blow dryer. Billie Eilish revealed to her fans on Monday that she secretly switched up her hair color in November.

The Fenty Beauty founder debuted a bright blonde hair transformation April 17 while celebrating her latest Fenty x Puma collection in London. ” singer revealed an edgy new look on Instagram on Thursday — sharing a photo that showed she had dyed her roots a bold red color to contrast with the rest of her black locks. Eilish gave fans at Lollapalooza the first IRL glimpse of her new look when she took the festival stage later that night (she, fittingly, also wore baggy shorts and red-soled basketball shoes). Judging by her last public appearance at the Barbie premiere a few weeks ago, it seems that the singer also chopped off a few inches as she changed up her root color. Like many nowadays, the singer matched her new color to her outfit choice—the red, navy, and white piping of her Chicago Bulls jersey coordinated well with the rest of her beauty look.

March 2019

Using the "Questions" function, Eilish asked her fans to submit a date, which she then shared a photo from. After someone randomly asked about Nov. 22, 2021, Eilish uploaded a video from the salon chair and revealed she dyed her hair red. "Took the blonde out and went red for a week hehe," she wrote. The two-time Oscar-winning musician recounted that version of herself likely began disappearing in 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when she was spending so much of her time alone. She dyed her hair blond and had no idea who she was, she shared. She recorded her second album, Happier Than Ever, in the months that followed, and while it received rave reviews, the “bad guy” singer noted it didn’t feel like her.

We have to applaud Eilish for totally slipping under the radar with this dye job, as it appeared to be just a few weeks before she transformed her bright blond shag haircut into a brown bob with bangs. She's been rocking the brown bob since early December, but there's something about this red color that we can't get enough of. Although it was short-lived, the coppery red shade on Eilish's chin-length bob looked fabulous, and it's one of the many hair colors Eilish has experimented with over the last few years. The “Happier Than Ever” singer took to Instagram Thursday (Aug. 3), to show off her latest new style, and also debuted the new hue during her headlining set at Lollapalooza the same day. The actress recently debuted a bright red hair color and equally bold blunt bob haircut. On Tuesday, the singer debuted the new ‘do on Instagram while announcing the Thursday release of both the single (which will also be featured on the Barbie movie’s soundtrack) and its corresponding music video.

A Columbia gramophone in seemingly perfect condition sits near a velvet, terra-cotta-colored couch; by the door rests a limited-edition Xbox made in collaboration with Gucci. Beyond that is the bathroom, its walls covered in the platinum records he made with his sister. Unimaginably surreal moments like this have been happening to Eilish for a while now. At 17, she became a global sensation with When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Eilish swept us into her dark universe, a realm where her gleaming blue eyes sobbed black ink, spiders scurried out of her mouth, and she grew ginormous, feathery wings so she could fall from heaven. Billie Eilish recently shocked fans by going brunette, ditching the platinum dye job she’s had throughout her “Happier Than Ever” era.

"Took the blonde out and went red for a week hehe," she wrote while showcasing her style from the salon. Although Billie eventually decided on brunette locks, fans were shook by the chic style that was almost kept a secret. “Took the blonde out and went red for a week hehe,” Eilish wrote on top of the video from the hair salon chair.

"I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after," she explained in a Rolling Stone profile published April 24. "I've been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn't understand—until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina." Finneas O’Connell, her brother and closest collaborator who has won several awards alongside her, echoed that sentiment and told Rolling Stone that he remembers that time being difficult and confusing. TWO DAYS AFTER THE INTERVIEW, Eilish calls me from her cellphone. She’s anxiously driving around Los Angeles, unable to shake the feeling that she told me too much. She laughs when I tell her where I am (the handbag department of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, shopping with my mother-in-law), and we make plans to meet up again the following week.

An Instagram user responded with the date, November 22, 2021, and Eilish replied with a short response and video. "Took the blonde out and went red for a week hehe," she wrote in her story's caption. The video shows the singer sitting in a salon chair as a hairstylist is blow-drying her red hair.

Black and green hair...

One celebrity known for their hair transformations (as well as incredible singing abilities) is Billie Eilish. And proving to have an endless roster of colours in her arsenal, today she's debuted a brand new fiery, blood-red look. While followers are loving her darker hair, many can't forget Billie's blond phase. In an interview with Vanity Fair back in December, the artist said the hair color helped make her feel more like herself in public.

Allure Daily Beauty Blast

Maggie Baird, Eilish’s mom, nervously sits at the edge of the pool, watching her daughter put her body through the kind of pain experienced divers would struggle with. Her skin had a natural matte finish, with the lightest flush of red blush on her cheeks. Long, dark, wispy lashes peeked out from her skinny, office-siren glasses. "Literally the thing that I've been preaching about since I first started is to wear what you want," she elaborated. "Dress how you want. Act how you want. Talk how you want. Be how you want. It's all I've ever said." The royal recently showed off her new curtain bangs during a public appearance on Sept. 27.

Jet-black was the fourth and final bright color in the gradient, filling the rest of her strands from the ends of the green to the ends of her hair. After the red dye, her hair quickly shifted into a bright, deep yellow. About twice as long as the length of the red, the amber-y color was the second part of the gradient, but it was only focused on the top of her crown and didn’t reach to the sides like the red. She also shared a photo of her hairstyle on Instagram with the caption, "remember me?" — seemingly commenting on her former bold hairstyles. She then told Rolling Stone in April that she also didn't recognize herself with the light hair color.

Speaking with Elle in September 2021, Eilish said she chose the color because she "couldn't go anywhere" with her green roots. She originally added the glowing color across her head in the summer of 2019, from her bangs to the ends of her hair. Coming to us via Allure Magazine's new 'Best of Beauty' issue, Billie fronts the cover wearing her locks in a wet, slicked-back veil-like 'do. But before we get to the style, the colour had us doing a double take at first glance.

On the locking in front, one of the best hair styling products for that job is your classic hairspray. Twist your strands into your half-up style and use a curling iron to add some volume to the strands on the bottom of the style. This will result in an all-over textured style that has major personality.

Megan Fox's Long Brunette Layers

By piling shorter pieces on top and around the face, tight coils have a more defined shape and need little styling to look fresh and streamlined. With blunt ends and swishy layers, the Modern Family star's layered cut is perfect for getting a bouncy blowout. This will give your bangs a messy, just-woke-up-like-this feel as opposed to something more structured and styled. While the majority of her shoulder-length cut is uniform, the two shorter pieces at the front draw extra attention to her facial features.

Wedding Hair Down With Braid

We love the easy elegance of this bride's wedding style—from her soft waves to her barely there makeup. The whole look exudes such relaxed, understated natural beauty that you almost wonder, did she just wake up this way? Stone advises reining in your use of product to hold such coifs, as it can result in looking too stiff or not resembling your hair at all. Bouncy, long hair, and a dramatic veil make the ultimate power couple if you ask us.

When choosing between having your hair up or down, settling on somewhere in the middle can be a happy medium. A braided effect is a good way to style your half-up short hair. Braids can add a distinct look to any medium to short hairstyle. Dutch braids are seen as more playful and youthful, while a traditional French braid gives a more classic style. Iman Balagam is a beauty contributor at Cosmopolitan with nearly four years of experience writing beauty stories that range from curling irons to collagen for hair growth.

Street Style-Approved Half Updo

On Monday, Beyoncé shared a rare glimpse of her wash day routine in an unpolished video to promote her new hair-care line, shocking many with an in-depth look at her real hair. Curtain bangs were easily the biggest fringe trend of 2021. We’re seeing this look carry into 2022 with a slightly longer style of fringe. This is a great style for anyone new to bangs because you’re able to keep them out of updos, but can also tuck them behind your ear if you want them out of your face. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen our favorite models and celebrities opt for medium brunette shades instead of the blonde balayage that was so popular.

For extra hold, I recommend using hairspray to ensure the style holds all night. Wedding hairstyles down for medium-length hair are a popular choice for brides who want to show off their locks while still keeping a polished look. From loose waves to sleek straight styles, there are plenty of options to choose from to complement your wedding dress and overall bridal look. Adding some accessories like a flower crown or jeweled hair clip can also add an extra touch of glam.

Braids and Embellishments

Be the prettiest among the rank of bridesmaids or simply doll up your hair with some adorable sea-inspired hair pins to feel beautiful all day long. "I think it is important to choose a hairstyle that promotes confidence and ease, especially if the bride isn't used to being in front of crowds or the camera," notes Stone. Styled with a deep center part, perfectly coiffed waves show off a masterful balayage, and are finished with a traditional bridal veil—in both style and placement. This classic wedding hairstyle is a stunner paired with all sorts of gown bodices and necklines. "I usually recommend doing hair color 10 days to two weeks prior to the wedding in case it needs to be adjusted with plenty of time," says Stone.

"With the chin-length bob in style this season, I'm seeing more sleek styles that are flat-ironed for extra shine and very blunt ends, tucked behind the ears," notes Stone. "Even with longer hair, straight sleek styles with tucked fronts, volume on the crown, and loose waves that start below the ears is popular." Braids are the perfect way to add magic and elegance to a half-down look.

Instead of being deep auburn you’ll see strawberry red,” she says. And if Sydney Sweeney can’t convince you to go red, nothing can. Once she completed her two-step ritual, she added “a tiny bit of moisture” seal and then she heat-styled her hair with a Dyson Wrap.

If you're looking to change your color, you're not the only one. With salons opening back up this year, there's no time like the present to reinvent yourself. Even if you're still not comfortable heading to the salon, rest assured it's easy to recreate so many of these looks by dyeing your hair at home. (If you're a newbie — don't worry, we've got you covered with our favorite home hair color hacks). If you are headed to the salon, prepare to screenshot these cute celebrity looks to show your colorist (or for a trial run, test them out with some temporary hair dye).

The caramel and auburn balayage highlights that frame Priyanka Chopra's face add light and dimension to her hair. This cinnamon color is the perfect highlight shade for brunettes who want to go light without going blonde. Hilary Duff switched up her blonde tresses for a turquoise hue. Money piece highlights are strategically placed to add pops of color at the front of your face.

Wrap large sections around the barrel to create a loose-flowing wave. To hold your style and add shine, use a lightweight hairspray. It’ll provide a flexible hold and help protect your hair from humidity. We love the casual elegance of this bride's sleek hairstyle, which starts with a middle part and finishes with just a bit of texture worked into her loose strands. It's the perfect blank canvas, so to speak, to showcase the intricate gown, which is simply stunning in its own right.

Structural Bun

For loose hair that's not in a protective style, Giannetos recommends prepping the hair with a styling cream to add some texture. "Follow up with a boar bristle brush to slick your hair back. After you have secured your ponytail, I would use a curling iron to create your favorite style of curls," he adds. Cursed with pin-straight hair that never seems to hold a curl? Fear not, there are still zesty, half up half down hairstyles to test out. This one, for example, offers a cute and thoughtful twist to your favorite fuss-free style.

Layered Haircuts That’ll Convince You to Cut Your Hair ASAP

Let your long, caramel-tinted locks flow, instead of pinning them up into an updo. For long hair, half-up hairstyles are a chic alternative to full-on updos for formal affairs. Back-skimming locks might be too beautiful to keep tucked away for a night of wining and dining, but a fancy half-updo is a cinch to maintain and it’s just as stylish.

Excessive Curls

An undone up-do can be done with any hair type, but we especially love how it looks with Danai Gurira's braids. To copy this look, leave out a few face-framing pieces and pile your desired amount of hair on top of your head, securing it with pins. "Danai's braided updo is the perfectly done, undone look," Marjan tells Byrdie.

What About Hair Down with Bangs

These face-brightening strands have been trending for a while now, but they will continue to reign through the rest of 2022. Lean into warmer colors like Mindy Kaling did and go for red-toned money pieces. If you’ve been searching for a tried-and-true ritual to achieve longer, luscious hair, may we suggest hair oiling? TBH, it's basically the oldest trick in the book—as far as my ancestors are concerned. “Life drastically changed after many months of quarantine and so did our habits, routines, and priorities,” Grenia says.

French Braid

This is most likely because people want to go darker during the winter, however, we can definitely see this trend carrying itself well into 2022. To achieve this color, ask your colorist for a chocolate brown hue. We may earn commission from links on this page, but we only recommend products we love. Long, thick hair can weigh down a lithe face, so make like Gabrielle Union and thin out the bulk with feathered layers that fall softly around your cheeks and shoulders. Wispy bangs that melt into long, face-framing layers automatically add definition to Johnson's face. Henson opted for choppy layers and thick, side-swept bangs to create an anled bob that looks full, not frumpy.

If you're highlighting just two strands, you may be able to lighten your hair naturally at home for this one. This piece-y and flattering early aughts method of highlighting is back in a big way. To keep things looking sunkissed and natural, always go for highlights two shades lighter than your natural hair color, like Chrissy Teigen. If you'd like a bleach-free, low-commitment way to change your hair color — try a copper hair gloss.

TRESemmé Clean Pro Pure Dry Shampoo

Since it pulls your hair out of your face, a half-up, half-down high pony is the perfect way to show off a statement makeup look. With enough hair spray or gel, this style will stay solidly in place, so it's also stellar for days or nights you expect to get a bit sweaty, such as at a festival. This look adds an even more glamorous touch to the slick ponytail with the hair wrap detail and loose waves.

Apply about an inch above the scalp in small sections before gently backcombing each one. If you choose to wear your long hair down, you’ll need to get a long veil. Wearing a long veil is not as easy as it might seem so you might want to practice a little.

This style looks effortlessly thrown together, but if you want to take it up a notch and make it more girly, add some loose curls and tie a small ribbon to the end of your braid. Ballet-inspired but much more relaxed, a half-up bun is a tasteful way to style half-up, half-down hair. Neat high buns look dignified but can feel a bit severe when you pull back all of your hair. Leaving the bottom section down makes it feel more casual and also gives you the opportunity to add more style, such as with loose waves in this photo. Then, curl the lengths and ends, working in two-inch sections.

This do is half modern, half girly, but 100 percent wearable. Wearing hair down at your wedding can be a wonderful way to make your appearance more magnetic. Don’t be afraid of saving on a hairdresser and flaunting the beauty of your natural mane.

She showed viewers that not only did she have hair, but a lot of it as well, even though she’s been dyeing it for 25 years. We’re also big fans of this look because you won’t have to worry about the damaging effects of bleach that commonly come with blonde strands. Play around with the length of your lob by cutting a few angled layers. Layers needn't hit you in the face—in fact, they should do just the opposite. Here, Kaling's layers drift gently away from the face to shape your look.

The almost-silver hair color is trending all over Instagram as of late (blame Daenerys Targaryen). Make sure you grab some purple shampoo to maintain this icy hue. The two subtle strands of highlights framing Ciara's face add an instant touch of warmth, and draw the eye to her face.

Love the finished look of a half-up, half-down wedding 'do, but also really want to keep your locks loose and voluminous? One ever-so-slightly more undone option (than a formal 'do) is to forgo a part and have your stylist comb back the hair instead. "You want to start the volume in the middle of the top of the head to create a nice round profile that has a subtly enhanced shape that complements the bride's cheekbones," says Stone. Place your veil in the center to give the illusion of a half-up style.

If you love the Golden Years or you are having a themed wedding from that period, you need a hairstyle that is suitable. Pick a lace headband with a flower that you’ll place on the forehead. Go for a side braid and pull off the edges to give it more volume.

For those overusing and not within the limits of the new guidelines set in place, enforcement starts with education on the effects of water waste, before turning into fines and tickets. The next step would be a written warning before turning into a $200 fine, which increases by an additional $200 per infraction until they reach $600. While not a requirement, officials also urged residents with outdoor pools to use pool covers in order to decrease evaporation.

This is because the low temperatures would cause the water line to freeze, shutting off the flow of water, and causing damage to the water line. This is the most common place to find the main water shutoff valve. It's typically located within a few feet of where the main water line enters the home. Given that the main water line for the house must branch off from the water main for the street, the water line usually enters the house through the side that is adjacent to the street.

Earlier this month, the federal EPA announced new, stricter rules on the amount of PFAS allowable in drinking water. This is a positive step to protect our water from some of the PFAS chemicals, but will not stop further contamination. L.A. Times readers share how they are conserving water in California amid drought restrictions. California water regulators have banned the watering of decorative ‘nonfunctional’ grass at commercial, industrial and institutional properties. Unique circumstances include, but are not limited to, physical disabilities which prevent compliance with the Water Conservation Plan.

If you live in the Portland metro area, here is what you need to know. Since it's typically used for billing purposes, it must be installed before the main water line branches in order to record 100 percent of the water usage. The water meter connects directly to the main water line and has a round shape with a glass or clear plastic face, allowing the homeowner to read the usage recorded on the dial. If your shower valve has no shut off valves you will need to turn off your main house shut off valve. If you are lucky, there will be an access panel on the wall behind the shower which you can remove and shut off water to the tub/shower faucet.

If you run into this problem, turn off the isolation valve at the top of the water heater to stop the flow of hot water. This valve is located deep in the ground and can only be operated with a specific tool known as a curb key. If you have a curb key and are authorized to use the curb stop valve, lower the curb key into the curb stop shaft until it hits the valve at the bottom. Rotate the key until you feel it settle down onto the pin at the bottom of the curb stop shaft. Next, turn the curb key 90 degrees to turn off the water to the home.

L.A. City Council approves twice-a-week outdoor watering limits in emergency drought plan

Let the water run for about 5 to 10 minutes, then close the faucet. Customers with street addresses ending in odd numbers can water on Mondays and Fridays before 9 a.m. Customers with even-numbered addresses can water Thursdays and Sundays at the same times of day. Officials have warned that even more restrictions on water supply in parts of Southern California could come if conditions fail to improve.

L.A.’s water supplies are in good shape. But is the city ready for the next drought?

Most homes built in the past 40 years have a separate stop valve (also called a fixture shutoff valve) for each faucet, toilet, and fixture. A supply tube (sometimes called a riser) runs from the stop valve to the fixture. It's a good idea to install a stop valve so you can stop the flow quickly in case of emergency.

In either case, it’s important to know how to turn off your home’s water supply long before you actually need to do it. Kitchen sink stop valves, which allow you to shut off water to the faucet, often are hidden amid pipes and tubes under the sink. Every home has at least one main shutoff, which controls water flow to the entire house. Often there is one main shutoff inside the house and another outside. After turning off the water to the house, you should open a faucet on the lowest level of the home to allow the water left in the pipes to drain. When you turn the water back on, keep the faucet open to give air trapped in the pipes a place to escape.

The Best Faucet Water Filters to Conveniently Clean Water, Tested

If you still have a traditional grass lawn, cut down on water usage by getting an early start. "Water earlier in the morning so that more water is absorbed and less water evaporates in the heat," says Colarulli. She also suggests installing a smart sprinkler system that can adjust based on weather and soil saturation, saving water and money over time. The exact location of the main water shutoff valve can differ between properties, so there is no universal spot where the valve is guaranteed to be installed.

This valve should always be completely open or completely closed—never used half open to control the amount of flow into the house. Cleaning your gutters and making sure they’re functioning properly is one of the most essential tasks to do around the house. If you don’t already have one, it’s worth adding a backup battery to your sump pump so that it functions during power outages, which seem to go hand-in-hand with heavy rainstorms.

There are many reasons you might need to shut off your home’s water supply. Sometimes it’s simply due to needing to make a plumbing repair where no adequate shut-off valves exist on the hardware you’re working on. Owning a home means owning a collection of pipes, wires and complicated systems that you will ultimately have to know a little bit about even to get help from a professional. Just like knowing where your breaker box is located, knowing where your water shut-off valves are located and how to turn the water off will help sooth the situation should you have a plumbing emergency. Intermediate shutoff valves control water flow to part of the house. For this reason, it’s recommended to locate and test your main shut-off valve now, instead of scrambling to try to find it when water is pouring into your home from a broken water line.

The new limits expand water conservation efforts such as prohibiting watering between 9 a.m. And 4 p.m., and limiting outdoor watering with sprinklers to eight minutes per station on permitted watering days, according to the DWP. With the end of the extended Memorial Day weekend and the month of May, a two-day per week outdoor watering schedule will begin June 1 throughout L.A., with scheduling based on street addresses.

Often your water utility department will loan you a key for your shutoff. In regions where winters are mild, the main shutoff valve may be outside the house. In some cases, it’s more effective to turn off the water to a single faucet or plumbing fixture instead of shutting down the water to the entire home. Not only does this take less time because you don’t need to drain the water from the whole house, but it also allows you to continue using the plumbing in the rest of the home. The utility is also asking its customers to utilize rebates and programs such as its $3-per-square-foot turf replacement, high-efficiency shower head and faucet aerator giveaways.

Go slow and do your best to avoid squeezing too tightly, applying too much force to the stem, or otherwise damaging the valve. If it remains seized, then you will need to speak to a plumber to have the main valve repaired before proceeding. Unlike some water agencies affected by the district’s order for a 35% reduction, the DWP opted not to scale back to one-day-a-week watering rules.

To turn the water supply off, give a gate valve a few turns clockwise until you can’t turn it any further. In most cases, you won’t need any additional tools to turn off the main water shut-off valve. These valves are designed for simple manual hand turning, but if you are having trouble turning it or if the valve is completely seized, you may need to use a channel lock wrench or pipe wrench.

If you notice a blue or yellow shutoff valve feeding the water heater, that is likely the one to shut off but leave the red valve for the hot water alone. After closing off the main shutoff valve, turn on a faucet in your home located on a lower floor, such as in a basement or even outdoors. Doing this allows any standing water to drain out of the plumbing system before you begin working on the pipes.

In warmer climates, it will be outside your home attached to an exterior wall or in an underground box with a removable lid. The main water shut-off valve is usually located on the main water line, where it enters the home. In most cases, this will be in a basement, cellar, or crawl space because the water line extends from the neighborhood water main and enters the home from under the ground. In warmer areas where freezing pipes aren’t a concern, the main water shutoff might also be found outdoors on an exterior wall, or buried near the street.

The Department shall adopt procedures for variance applications, review, and decision. Installation of single pass cooling systems in buildings requesting new water service. Using water to clean, fill, or maintain levels in decorative fountains, ponds, lakes, or similar structures used for aesthetic purposes unless such water is part of a recirculating system. "Use mulch around trees and shrubs (away from the stem or trunk) to keep the soil cool and moist," says Todd.

Local shut-off Valves

Homes with addresses ending in odd numbers are permitted to water their outdoor lawns and gardens on Mondays and Fridays, while those with even-numbered addresses are allowed to water on Thursdays and Sundays. We’ve all been through this drill so many times, some of the obvious water-saving steps have become almost second nature. But as you go about trimming your water usage at home, experts warn that nips and tucks alone can’t get us out of the multiyear drought we’re in. Reducing your time in the shower can make a big difference in your daily water consumption, but replacing your old shower head with a WaterSense-labeled model can help even more. "By replacing just one shower head with a WaterSense-labeled model, EPA estimates the average family can save 2,700 gallons of water and the energy required to heat it," says Todd. Whether you’re making a repair or there’s a plumbing emergency such as a frozen pipe, clogged water lines, or a burst pipe, it’s important to know how to shut-off the water.

When to Shut Off Your Home’s Water Supply

A main water shutoff valve is used to shut down the incoming water for the entire house. In the case of a leak, it's important to know where the main water shutoff valve is located, what it looks like, and how to operate it. Otherwise, you may not have a way to control the leak while waiting for a plumber or picking up repair parts. Learn how to find the main water shutoff valve in your home in case of repairs, maintenance, or emergencies. When a hot water pipe is leaking, or if you need to repair or replace a water heater, there are shutoff valves located near your water heater. Depending on your water heater's setup, you will need to locate the correct valve to turn off.

You will also need to drain off some water from the tank to make the water heater safe to work on. If you need to perform repairs on your shower/bathtub faucet or valve, turning off water to the to the faucet is not always easy. Once you locate the valve handle, turn it clockwise until it stops. If it is frozen in position, put a few drops of lubricating oil around the valve stem and wear a work glove to turn the handle or, if necessary, turn it with the help of a pipe wrench. Electronic leak detectors use wireless water sensors to sound an alarm when they detect water or are wired to an automatic shutoff valve on your main water line or at individual shutoffs. Some monitors can also be wired into a centrally monitored alarm system, and some versions provide options for calling you by phone when the alarm sounds.

With a ball valve, turn the lever 90 degrees so it sits perpendicular to the water line. Use these tips to locate the main water shut-off valve and stop the flow of water to your home. Also, if you have to use the shut-off at the water meter, this sometimes requires a plumber. But, the good news is that since the plumber is already out, you can have them install a much more convenient and easy-to-use shut-off valve for the future. Once you’ve turned the main water supply off, you’ll want to release the pressure from the system.

Emergency Curb Stop Valve

Of course, it’s best to do this before a situation or an emergency involving your plumbing arises. Furthermore, building owners should regularly check that these valves are functioning properly. It is typically advisable to exercise water valves once a year so that they do not freeze in place. Additionally, they should inform building managers, tenants, and occupants about the location of these valves for emergencies.

You want to keep things warm enough inside the house so that water pipes running through exterior walls don’t freeze and burst. However, emergencies aren’t the only time a homeowner might need to turn off the water. When an old valve needs to be replaced, a faucet leaks, or a toilet needs to be removed, the water must be turned off to avoid flooding the immediate vicinity.

How to Shut Off the Water to a Sink Faucet

To turn off the water to your shower/bathtub, look for shut off valves from an access panel behind the shower wall. If there is no access panel, you need to remove the faucet handle and escutcheon and check if the shower valve has shut off valves. Turn off water to the whole house if there are no valves on the shower valve.

As shown above, the shutoff valve is often next to the water meter. If the main shut-off valve is stuck or seized, you can attempt to loosen it with a set of channel locks or a pipe wrench. Just keep in mind that if you apply too much pressure to the valve, you can break the handle or the stem.

A meter with a digital readout simply displays the amount of cubic feet of water used. Note the number at the start of the month or billing period, then read it again at the end and subtract the first number to calculate your use. An outside shutoff valve is near the point where a pipe branches off from the utility's main line to bring water to your home. If you have a parkway—a narrow strip of land between the sidewalk and the street—the outside shutoff will likely be there. If you cannot find yours, ask your water utility department where to find it.

At this point, you can start working on any plumbing projects that require the water to be shut down. To turn off water to a dishwasher, look for shut off valves on the horizontal pipes under the kitchen sink. To turn off the water to your house and the rest of your property (including outdoor sprinkler systems, hose faucets, and so forth), look for the main valve just to the house side of your water meter. This is normally out by the street, often in a concrete box just below ground level. In some cases, the valve is located on a pipe right before the water heater and may have a red handle.

Turn on the faucet highest up and farthest away from the shut-off, as well as the one lowest in the system and closest to the shut-off, to allow as much water to drain out as possible. If your plumbing is all on one level, try the tub faucet and the outside faucet if the weather allows. Inside you'll find a standard valve that you can turn with your hands or one that requires a special key. Water suppliers in parts of Southern California were ordered to impose severe water restrictions. The Department of Water and Power differs in some key ways from other local agencies that are struggling with unprecedented water restrictions due to the drought.

Check to see if leaves, sticks or other debris are blocking the inlet of the downspout and preventing water from flowing down the spout. Also make sure your downspout extensions are discharging the water far enough from the foundation. If you remove them while you mow the yard, make sure to immediately reattach them. Roof will shed about 620 gallons of water during a rain storm that produces a measured inch of precipitation. If you have six downspouts on your house, that translates to around 103 gallons per downspout. During a bigger storm or prolonged periods of precipitation, that’s an awful lot of water around the foundation of your home.

The valve should work properly without you needing to rely on any emergency plumbing tools. If you find that it is seized or that the valve doesn’t completely shut off the water to the home, then you should contact a plumber to replace the valve. If a plumbing fitting starts to leak or a pipe ruptures, it can result in extensive water damage, costly water damage restoration repairs, and ongoing issues with mold and mildew growth. DWP officials said their customers are already averaging about 112 gallons per person per day, less than half of that of some other nearby agencies. On Tuesday, the Metropolitan Water District ordered outdoor water usage be restricted to just one day a week for about 6 million people in parts of Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties. The restrictions will take effect June 1 and will apply to areas that depend on water from the drought-ravaged State Water Project.

Rotate the circular handle on a gate valve clockwise until the valve cannot turn any further to turn off the water to your house. The valve might be difficult to move if it hasn’t been used in a while. Use adjustable pliers or a pipe wrench to gently encourage the valve to rotate, but don’t apply so much pressure that you break the handle or the valve stem. Rotate the circular handle on a gate valve clockwise until it cannot turn any further to turn off the water to the house. Turning off the water to the home when the shut-off valve is located inside the house is usually straightforward.
