Garden Water Tap Broken

Today it was the tap in the garden that broke. It had been dripping for weeks, even with the tap turned closed it stilll dripped. I tried forcing it closed a bit tighter and the threead went olnt he tap. Now the only way it can be turned off is through the main tap in the shaft in the bottom of the garden. This also mean no water in the house as it is not isolated.
