$200 Charge to Replace Frozen Water Meter?

[Dewain J.]

So apparently the water meter in a property I purchased was frozen and wasn't measuring usage. So the Philadelphia Water Dept came out and did what they had to do apparently replacing it. And they back billed me for the usage that should have been coming through I guess based on estimate. Nothing outrageous so fine whatever. 

But now I just got a bill for $200 for the replacement of the meter. I find that to be baffling. It's their equipment used to bill me. I don't get to take it with me when/if I sell the place. I don't why I'm expected to pay it. Anybody else ever have this problem. Did you pay it or dispute?
