I agree with I Can't Believe... who answered that the picture is of a natural gas meter, not a water meter. The water meter should be found in a water meter box that is level with the top of the ground. If you live in the city, it could be in the sidewalk, or nearby, and can be anywhere from property line to property line. I have seen some meters to be very hard to find because often there will be a small, hinged door in the lid that is used for meter reading, and if the meter box is installed slightly below grade, then all but the door may get covered with dirt and/or grass. The meter readers that read your meter every month know by memory where it is. I have seen some water utilities put a blue mark in the road pointing in the direction of the meter box.
I do not know where you live, but I have heard that in some places the meter may be found in the basement of the home where the water lines enter the home.
One word of advice about the meter boxes in the ground is, be careful. Where I live black widow spiders love to make their homes in the water meter box.
