In some flats I know, the meters are installed in each flat,

In my case, that is buried somewhere in the walls or under the

Do you not have a stopcock in the flat? If you do, it would be
installed
just before that.

Cocks are banned as they can burst the supply pipes (apart from ball
cocks of course).


What meaning of "cock" are you using and who has banned them?

I ask as "stopcock" has been used for the past 400 years to mean a valve
for turning off the water supply (or where context requires the valve
and the box etc it's in). And is used freely in legislation other than
the regs to which Colin Bignell referred.
