It limits how much water a failure can move. A supply line that lets go with the main closed spills what is already in the pipe; with the main open it keeps going until somebody notices. That difference is the whole argument for finding the valve before you need it.

No. The meter measures, and the valves on either side of it do the stopping. Many homes here have a valve just before the meter and another just after, and the one after is the one you want for work inside. Knowing which is which before an emergency is half the battle.

Yours from the curb stop onward, in the normal arrangement here. The utility keeps the main under the street and the curb stop valve at the property line; everything past it, including the run under the front lawn, is private. Confirm with your own water provider, since the exact line varies by system.

The valve is not seating fully, which is common on gate valves that have sat untouched for decades. Water at the fixture with the main closed makes any repair downstream harder and messier. Replacing the valve is usually quicker and cheaper than working around it every time.
