What does the water company say when they see this strapped around their equipment?
The bottom line is they don't see it.

Your meter is not read by a human opening the box and reading numbers. S/he takes a stick with a wireless reader and passes it over the meter box. If S/he did open the box it would triple the time at each home. But let's say today, your box gets opened, next to the meter is flumes reader, it is black with a white on red sticker "DO NOT REMOVE".

It could happen. If the chance that it could occur bothers you then get a device that reads your pipe in your house at your water main. Streamlabs is one such product.
