In Phoenix/Scottsdale Arizona we have water meters that transmit every 15 seconds. I can get measurements at the road but they really drop off once you get some distance, like 20 feet away. They are battery operated unlike the ones attached to the electrical panel. The water meter's transmission does not radiate from the pipe as it doesn't have the energy.
My equipment to measure them consists of a Gigahertz Solutions HFE59B with a UBB27 attached to a NFA1000 for recording. It's pretty sensitive especially with the preamplifier attached.
The only way to escape is to live out in the middle of nowhere off the grid...then you will have to deal with Loon soon. A canopy is the only way to go here.
