Default Water monitor [Flume]

I am thinking of installing Flume water monitors for both irrigation and drinking (potable) water lines. I have looked into the Flume water monitor system and understand the Flume sensor is strapped to the water meter.

I have a new designer home bought several months ago and am not sure about the location of the water meters for the two lines. I see one in-ground box with two solenoids for the irrigation water and another box with two solenoids for the drinking water. In the boxes, I don’t see meters (unless they are buried in the muck).

Am I looking in the right places for the water meters to install Flume water monitors?

There is no solenoids on drinking water.
Look for meter boxes by property line or street. Irrigation should have a purple transducer top of box drinking water will be black.
If unable to locate contact Villages Utilities (352) 259-2802 for location.
Sometimes you may find 2 meters in underground box for you and your neighbor
