Interesting that they’re not installing a valve in the 14” pipe so future shut downs are a simpler process. I have five plumbers in my extended family and have helped freeze mains supply pipes many times, when the main valve is too worn to shut down the flow. So we would freeze the main then replace the valve. Voila, problem solved.
