I have an electric smart meter but don’t often check what I’m using as I’m fairly conscious anyway so I’d probably be the same with a water meter... things are switched on and water is used when needed... if it’s not needed it’s off or unplugged.

Reducing leaks by 5 million a day would be a good improvement... in this day and age a lot of people take water for granted in the uk... I go Cyprus every year and they suffer water shortages and water is limited but you get by...
