If you want to turn the water off so that if you turn the faucet on, no water comes out, how would you explain that?

How would you say:
Can you turn the water of the whole house off. There is a leak.

How do I write: There isn't a general pipe for the kitchen water and the bathroom water. You can turn one off without the other.
if you want to turn the kitchen wayet off, you have turn turn off the pipe to the kitchen faucet off. If you want to turn the bathroom water off you need to turn off the pipe to the bathroom water. It's to different pipes.

Thank you you for you help
