This was mentioned on another forum. Did you ever see a water faucet on the side of a commercial building or apartment building that has no handle? Supposedly, the tool that will turn the water on is called a "silcock key" and is available at hardware stores. I googled it and came up dry (no pun intended). Sounds like a good emergency water source.
