I find it funny that cities in the states get FREE electric/water but we the people ARE CHARGED outrageous amounts of currency. These companies DO NOT shut the city street lights/public buildings off so why not funnel my tax money to pay for my usage AKA FREE TO ME THE TAX PAYER.
Hey dude, did you know that these meters have magnet sensor? All of them have it. You are screwed now LOL. They will know exactly how much time magnet was attached. Of course it depends if they are smart and how they prepare bills, but 10000% meter collects such data. Then they can count the teoretical amount of water you could use with the maximum flow over that time, or simply tell you to pay the amount of water that is missing on their main meter. Have a nice day
most water providers are moving towards non-mechanical meters anyways, so this so called "hack" wont matter as the new meters are non affected by this type of tampering.
im surprised this works, usually the coupling magnets are buried deep in the center of the meter and it would take a tremendous magnetic field to affect them
Haha!! I have no idea how this video came to my feed but I like it. So many worked up people. Keep doing you man. These agencies have so much money I doubt you stealing will make any difference. The nice guy always finishes last 👍 thanks for sharing.
That is a tiny magnet. You probably need a bigger round one from China. It still doesn't seem to work with some meters without a visible metal shell. The magnet to be attracted and held is at the bottom of the meter away from the face plate, and the magnetic force has to reach there stronger than the other magnet that turns it.

Commit a crime, film it, and then post it for others to see. Genius.

Why is your meter just sitting there exposed in the bushes? It’s supposed to be in a meter box.
Sir what process for meter reading digit up/ down
How to "steal". Not "free".
This is theft ….

Most digital meters have a sensor that detects changes in magnetic field fir the meter.
Good to know, gonna try that next summer when I fill up my pool
Cool! Thanks for the hack!
How about plastic metal water readers?

Thanks I’m going to try this next week when they finish my pool
Just steal it, right I see so simple..🤣❤️
Thank you!!!!
Where do u get the magnetic from
Will this work in Philly
