Who is responsible for replacing the water meter of residential residents when it is broken?

The cost of replacing residential water meters is broken down as follows:

1. If the damage is natural, that is to say, it is not caused by human factors, it depends on whether it is an internal water meter or an external water meter. If it is a public water meter, the maintenance cost should be borne by the property company, and the owner does not need to pay for it himself;

2. If the water meter at home is damaged by non-human factors, you can ask the water supply company to be responsible for maintenance or direct replacement. However, if the water meter is damaged by human factors, in this case, I should bear it;

3. Who will be responsible for repairing or replacing the broken water meter? Mainly depends on the ownership of the water meter. If you know whose it is, who should be responsible for the maintenance and replacement. If the water is not sent directly to the owner's home, it is sent to the community, and the main water meter is installed near the community, and then pipelines are laid to reach all households. It is also a mixture of various devices, and then each household is equipped with a water meter. This method will charge an extra management fee, which should be borne by the water supply company.
