They are being installed for free if you agree to put them in now.
All new construction require a water meter installation included in the water hookup.

If you have not elected to install a meter before they become mandatory then you will have to pay for the installation at that time.

This is exactly why we had one installed a few years ago.

Ya, this is not the most environmentally sound hobby for sure.. Lots of wasted water, electricity, etc.. But then so is driving a car to work. Not everyone needs to but mostly everyone does for convenience. Again we have to pick our battles and compromises (if these sorts of things matter to you). I stopped watering the lawn 5 years ago. The front "lawn" just grows on rainwater and the backyard is planted with clovers which can thrive just fine in whatever limited water they get. I don't keep as Many house plants as I used to. Just a few choice orchids which don't actually need that much watering.
