Unfortunately, my municipality of 2,200 users is planning to do this.

Also, all water meters are being replaced so they can be read remotely without a human physically using an electronic meter reader.

Those are extremely widespread already. And they're pretty open. I wouldn't personally be too worried about any potential exploits since they're simply broadcast only systems and the worst that could probably happen is your'd get a jacked up water bill.

I don't really see water meters as being an issue. There aren't any control systems involved.

Worst case you can tamper with the readings, but you can't actually cause damaging effects.

There might be privacy implications for people who don't want to be drought-shamed for having a long shower.
