Of water meters and shut off valves

I just got off the phone with the town foreman, and have tentatively scheduled for the water to be turned off at the street on Friday. He'll check/fix the water meter at that time, but I have to install a new shut off valve, as it appears that the valve, even though it's before the water meter, is mine. However, this means that we should be able to move everything, meter included, inside the new basement wall, which will make insulating much, much easier.

It's hard to tell how badly the meter is leaking, and where. The bottom of the meter is always damp, and there's a damp spot on the floor, directly below the meter, that just never seems to dry out. The fact that the bottom of the meter, as seen below, is in such bad shape doesn't help matters any.
