Nah, not everywhere. Our village has no water meters because, why. Spring water from the mountains is not treated, only monitored for microorganisms and contaminants and fed into our water supply by gravity. Doesn't really matter if it runs through a computer on its way to the sea or not.
In places like big cities or flat plains where the water needs to be pumped and treated that's a different thing.
