Water meter?

Is there any other kind under the pavement?

I donno all we have in our water supply is a street stop cock 10
yards down the road.

Aren't you metered then?


Nope, that's why I'm wondering what these water meter things are. B-)
Never lived in a place with a water meter. Water costs about £300/year
supply only, no mains drain.


Really? Everywhere I've lived they've had water meters. France, US,
Switzerland.


We haven't got one either.
