It's been a few years since this moment occurred, still worth mentioning. We had our house built and noticed it was difficult to access the water meter, was not level and water pressure and flow rate decreased rapidly when the garden hose was on.
Called, 2 technicians came out and found the meter was crushed on the downstream side, probably from being run over during construction. My yard where the meter is located is maintained and in good shape. The techs cut the grass, removed the meter, placed tarps to catch the dirt and 'tamped' everything, including the sod in place. Used a push broom on the area too, couldn't notice they had done any work at all. Zero impact! Great job! read more
