Repairing underground municipal water lines can be expensive. The
*proper* way is for municipal waterlines to be installed below freeze

a remote display outside for the meter reader.

Some jackass saved a few bucks by not using a remote read meter and now
you're paying the price. Too bad the original plumbing inspector didn't
catch that hack job.

What jackass would that be? Generally, the water company (often town
owned) determines the meter type and location.
