Is there a valve on the street they pull or is it something like a button they press at their headquarters? (in the US)

There’s a valve at the street. If you live in a home you really should know where your water cutoff valve is and keep a tool handy in case of emergency. Also it’s good to turn that valve off and on occasionally so it doesn’t get stuck.
yes in your front yard there is either a re=ound metal cover or a rectangular concrete one.
in newer home it might be green plastic. sometimes they are in the stereet like this:

there is a cut off for everything going into your home
Looks like my water supply company has the ultimate power move: they can lock me out of my own water.
