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

[Doron Beckerman]

>> In any case, didn't RSM already argue (quite convincingly, IMHO) from
the 1st mishnah in AZ -- "nifra'in meihem mipenei shehu meitzar", that
paying even a valid debt isn't called "nicha lei"? If so, we can ask
why, but not if. <<

The discussion regarding the water meter doesn't have to do with paying the
debt, but with incurring it. If without the water meter you would incur (or
perhaps even potentially incur) a larger debt to the company because it
will charge based on the clause dealing with that contingency, then it is
nicha leih.
