Is this a main water shut-off valve ?
Is this a main water shut-off valve ? I don't think it is. I see these valves daily around Dallas homes. The housing box says ICV (Irrigation Control Valve), and I am sure that is what it is, however on this house today it was in direct line-of-sight path of the water supply feed coming from the city valve-meter. I could not locate any other valve in the flower bed except this one. (Typically in newer Dallas homes the main water shutoff is below ground in the front flower bed). Also, I have on occasion seen a house shut-off housed in a box that read "ICV". This does not look like any house shutoff I have seen. Anyone know?

Sorry. I answered before I saw that you have two threads with the same question.
(Why two threads??)

Looks like a backflow prevention valve.

It is a back flow valve plus a cut off valve.. Is the cut off valve to the right facing towards the meter box at the road, if it is then it is the main water cut off to the house. Appears to be that to me.
