My water meter is out of warranty and they have now taken almost two weeks to replace

My water meter is out of warranty and they have now taken almost two weeks to replace. I have to call every morning to unblock the water as I wake up and my water is off! Then I was informed they came and I wasn't home, I wasn't notified that anyone was coming and I am a working person. I can't be staying at home all day. This is infuriating. Other than paying rent, WATER and electricity inknow have to buy airtime to constantly phone every morning.
