That area will probably be totally submerged during an emergency.

Been there done that.

six foot long wrench to turn on my water, it was down so deep (in STLMO). The water guy I called had it, but a normal person wouldn't probably have something like this around.

I had my plumber install mine in the utility room next to my washer. Easy turnoff.
