I seem to have discovered 2 faucets/spigots in the yard that stick up from the ground (not from house), and these don't appear to be controlled by the home's main water shutoff valve. They still run with the water shutoff.

How often does something like this occur. Is this kind of normal, or did the property have a bad design for how the water lines were run to the yard for water access?

I assume doing work on those spigots or water lines underground might be a bit of a pain if they aren't controlled from home's water shutoff? Such that have to access the meter's water shutoff, which is the water companies property/responsibility to use.

I assume probably not an easy fix to rework them to be a part of the home's water shutoff control.

Assuming this is tapped off the main line from the meter, and no existing separate shutoff valve, the pipes appear all underground and there's concrete around the home and yard, is this going to be expensive to put a shutoff earlier in the line if not a shutoff right near the spigots? So a quick fix is likely an extra shutoff valve right before / at each spigot (say to easily replace spigot in future).
