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.

No, you are as wrong as a democrat.

The city does not want leak damage liability so it is up to the
homeowner/licensed plumber where regulator/meter is installed.

Bull**** . Not around here , our meter is next to the driveway up at the
road (we live in a clearing out in the woods). It's in a little precast
concrete enclosure with a lid that fits into a recess in the top . About 18"
deep , no insulation , and it's been colder than -8° here before with no
problem .

Dev Null will call you "retarded".

Only his hose has the right answer.
