Hi,
This is related to the earlier post where I was asking about replacing
valves on my water supply line. Here's a picture of what that area
looks like:

I know what the #4 copper wire is for, but what the heck is that ugly
devide in middle for and can I cut it out?
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
By "devide" I meant "device" in both instances.
That big ugly thing is the water meter.- Hide quoted text -

Yes, that's the device I meant.

If the water meter is on the inside, how does the water company know
how much water I am using?
What's the curly wire going to it?
Is it in good shape or should I replace it?
Hi,
They read it remotely. In our area meter reader just drive by the house
to read it. I was told in the future it'll be read via sattelite.
Likewise natural gas meter is done same way.

Doubtful. Sattelite uplinks are expensive.
