Water Meter Did Not Comply With Australian Standard.
Here one of my clients was issued with a notice from water company to have their water meter moved to comply with current Australian Standards.
The standards require the meter to be at least 300 mm above ground level with access for the meter reader. Here’s how we deal with the complication of stopping the live flow of water from the mains into the meter.

Looking back out at the traffic I bet each of those commuters’ had similar thoughts and intentions on their minds.
