My family's prepaid water meter hardly works, and the property requires itself to pay for the replacement of the water meter and pay the water fee. Is this reasonable?

The water meter doesn't take numbers, which means you don't use water, so you don't need to pay any water charges. The problem of water meter belongs to the management of water supply company. Suggest communication and settlement. If the communication fails, a complaint will be made.

Intelligent IC card water meter is a new type of water meter, which uses modern microelectronics technology, modern sensing technology and intelligent IC card technology to measure water consumption, transmit water consumption data and settle accounts. This is a great progress compared with the traditional water meter, which only has the functions of flow collection and mechanical pointer display of water consumption.
