Good morning nostr, gonna need another cup of coffee this morning. I overslept, and that always makes me feel rushed and in catch-up mode. Mornings like this I'm really glad we installed the automatic chicken door in the coop. So today we're having a friend come look at the new water meter to see what materials it will take to connect to the cabin water line. We'll have to rent a trencher of course, its a pretty long run of pipe. Just more expenses to satisfy the water company, even though the one meter has worked just fine for years. Other than that it'll just be the usual work around here. Gotta continue watering trees and plants mainly. So yall have a great Thursday nostr friends, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #grownostr #countrylife #homesteading

GM! Did they say if it’s a SMART meter?

They’re installing them across Austin so they can surveil peoples water usage closer.

We opted out when they came to install but now they’re saying we’ll have to pay a monthly fee and $75 install fee for a new meter that’s not SMART.

Curious if these are being rolled out away from the city as well

No, they didnt. I think whats happening is that out here in the country, there has been an increase of RV's, tiny homes, etc, being put on an existing property (probably people cant afford housing), but still just one water meter. Water company says this is against code or some crap.

Must be treating the extra housing like it's a commercial property.

I think its just a money grab, shaking people down.
