Our home appliance watch was broken, and the property changed it directly without informing me. It's been a year, and I just found it recently! Do you need the owner to be present to confirm the watch

Our home appliance watch was broken, and the property changed it directly without informing me. It's been a year, and I just found it recently! Do you need the owner to be present to confirm the watch change? Of course, you won't be informed when you change your watch. If there is nothing wrong with your water meter, the water supply company will inform you when replacing it. At least we never informed you here. Maybe when you get off work, you will find that the watch in front of your house has changed, and you will know that they have changed, so it makes no sense for you not to pay the electricity bill.
