Yeah, that was the same look on my face too when they gave me the quotes.
And by the way - what I had ASKED them to do was to replace the gate valve BELOW the water meter with a new ball valve. The gate valve is original to the house (1937) and doesn't shut off all the way. It still leaks water through when "closed". Instead of doing what I asked they put a ball valve in AFTER the water meter. So the next time the water company wants to come out and replace the meter it will end up flooding my basement floor again while they work on changing out the meter. I've tried to get the water company to replace that valve in the past, but they won't do it. They will only change out the meter and nothing else. You just can't win.
