[Avodah] If you have an electronic water meter, can you turn on yo ur faucet on Shabbos?

[Doron Beckerman]

There is almost invariably some kind of clause dealing with a malfunctioned
water meter. The assessment is then done by some kind of average or by the
parallel period from the previous year. So whether it is nicha leih or not
would depend on what they would charge him otherwise, which is easily
calculable. If a person has little variance from month to month, he can
decide that he doesn't care if they use the meter or not, and it would be
lo echpas leih, which we pasken is the same as lo nicha leih.
