Water Billing in Sand City

My new project is a pub in Sand City (vulgarly, Holon). After long search, discovered one incoming water pipe in a manhole (pic). The local water company "Mey Shikma" ("Terebinth Waters") installed the meter in the manhole, which is unusual here. The cover was unmovable, it has been never opened. I wonder how the Terebinth people reads the meter and charges the pub. The owner said he has never seen a bill, they are sent directly to the accountant who pays it.

Do they not do remote reading in Israel? Several years ago the water company installed a device on my meter so that the meter could be read by radio from the street and they no longer had to go into my basement to read the meter.

Remote reading is being introduced now in Israel, ten years after the USA. Holon has no remote reading yet.
