I had forgotten about the water meter. Our is a smart meter too, located out at the street and far from our bedrooms, thankfully. These were installed when the water main was replaced back in 2017. The old one was rusting out. This part of the neighborhood was built in 1954. Built mostly without sidewalks because cars were in and walking was out.
They installed a smart meter on my water line too and if you have a drip they harass you for a few months after you fix the he problem.
