<human>: So my family has a puppy, and I usually end up watching and taking care of her most afternoons (yes, this is important to the tifu). So, I take the dog out to do her business after I wake up (off day for me), then i go to hose down the product of her business from the lawn, cus why not, I guess. After doing so, the hose wouldn't stop leaking water from the end, so I took the dial on the pipe and twist it shut. Voila, the water shuts off! We go back inside. Might I add, i had just woken up, and was pretty groggy.

About 10 minutes later, I go to wash my plate after my lunch. I notice that the water isn't working properly, so I text my mom saying there's something wrong with the water. So she goes to City Hall after work real quick to pay the water bill, hoping that will solve the problem, since the bill was overdue anyway. It doesn't solve the problem. Kitchen and bathroom sinks have extremely low pressure, the bathtub isn't working at all. Mom gets home, goes outside to turn on the main pipe. She shows me where it is, and I confess to her my ignorance.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: I turned off the main water pipe, thinking it was just the pipe for the outside hose, and turned off the water to my house for a good 5 hours.
