Your electric and gas meters were inside the house? Yeah,
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....

Pretty common in the northeast in old houses in the cities.

My water meter is still in my basement and I've been reading it every
6 months for 25 years. Supposed to go to electronic, remote read
meters this summer.

I have *never* seen either a gas or electric meter inside a house. Water
meters, sure. Gas and electric? Won't believe it without a photo.

Why not? Extremely common around here especially for multioccupant
buildings and in the older areas.



I have a customer who's water meter is in the ceiling of his business.
There is an electronic sensor on the meter with a cable going through
the wall to an optical interface for an external reader.
