Master main water shutoff in home built inside pedestal?

There's normally one where the water line enters your house besides the street shut off

The street shutoff is usually owned by the local govt and after that is your responsibility.
(mine is curbside)

Thats definitely not the main shutoff for the house which should be inside.

My money is the main shutoff is in the inside of the pedestal. The pedestal is closest point to the street water main, and is where the water softener and hot water heater are.

Just not sure I want to open up the pedestal now. Lots of honey do projects, I spent four hours starting at 2am working on the fleck water softener this morning.

Are there water lines exiting the pedestal? Where does the water enter the house?
 
The street cover has a lock and needs a key to remove. I will be buying one of the cover keys.

Town came out and turned off the water. The tool the use to turn off the water was about a six foot long t handle.

The town was really good about coming out and shutting off the water, and then returned to turn the water back on.
You can purchase that tool at Home Depot or Lowes. I always turn the water off at the street when going on vacation...very easy to do...
