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

Generally the municipality owns/maintains the water main, tap and
service shutoff valve at the street.

From the street to the house is done by any licensed plumber or the
homeowner.

Meters are installed in residence with remote reader installed on house
so they are visible from the driveway.


Some are, some are not. Water company or town determines where, not the
plumber.
