Is there a code on where the water meter has to be?

[tiernan]

I just bought a house and the water meter is on the other side of the street. I never had a house where the meter was located in the front yard.... I wanted to upgrade my water line to the house, but since the meter is on the other side of the road I don't see how I can. Is there a code that says where a meter needs to be located? I really would like it to be located on my property and just doesn't seem right that its not.
