Our Electric and Natural Gas meters have a little transmitter that the meter reader guy just drives down the street and it records the information to the device in the truck. He just cruises by at 20 MPH and gets the entire neighborhood. The city water sends a human to look in the hole for the meter. That is not likely to change since they have a fairly strong union and would never sit still for automation. The Gas company and Electric company are private enterprise and watch the bottom line.
