    Meters installed by developers are called check meters, and are not acceptable to (say) Sydney Water for billing purposes.
    Sydney Water, upon request, can change out the non compliant meters ton their own . They do it at no cost to the OC, provided certain conditions are met.

    Have a look at your bylaws, and see whether they mention embedded networks. Water can fall under embedded networks and is less regulated than electricity. If embedded networks are allowed then the OC may be able to read the  check meters and charge on a usage basis.
