In NYC meters shall be set as near as possible to point of entry of service but not beyond 3'. almost all meters are in the basement. until recently no rpz was allowed below grade (street level) but now with engineer calc. showing flood rate vs. sq. ft. of basement that gives you the height of rpz.
