Who will bear the cost if the water meter in the community is broken?

The water meter in a residential area is broken, and the owners usually bear the maintenance costs themselves. For water companies, they only need to be responsible for replacement and maintenance, while property companies need to be responsible for contacting water companies to coordinate and solve problems. Of course, you can also look at the ownership of the water meter. Most owners are responsible for replacement and maintenance costs. If the water meter is in a private area, it is the responsibility of the individual.
