A water shut-off valve tool is configured to be deposited entirely within an in-ground enclosure housing a water shut-off valve. The handle of the tool extends laterally to opposing sides of a shaft of the tool, and includes four separate finger apertures along its lateral extent. Each finger aperture is configured to receive a different one of a user's fingers. The handle includes four, converging arched portions. An exterior of each arched portion defines a partial arch on an outer edge of the handle and an interior of each arched portion defines a perimeter of a different one of the finger apertures.

A valve box system is disclosed for providing operators with access to utility lines such as municipal water and gas systems. This valve box system provides alignment between its multiple sections and a four-notched upper section for a better interface with an adjustment tool. The result is an efficient system which may serve as a stand-alone product or may serve to retrofit existing valve box systems.
