A couple of things, first you should NOT use your email as your name this is an open forum and you are opening yourself to a lot of spam.

As for your water meter question, there are some differences depending on where you live in TV. For example the historic section tended to have one meter, and potable water was used for irrigation. The area typically North of 44 tends to have 2 meters, one on each side of the house, each box has 2 meters, yours and your neighbors, with one box being potable water and the other irrigation water. There may be other variations for the courtyard villas, and I have no idea of the arrangement for the new houses south of 44. You can ask your neighbors where theirs are, and then look in similar locations at your house. If you have a newer house, these will be shown on the plat (plot) plan for your property, the local building department should be able to supply this document.
Hope this helps.
