If the meter is located in a pit outside there will be a 1/4 turn shutoff valve in the pit where the city can turn the water off and put a lock on it . On each side off the valve are nuts that you loosen up that are part of a union, there are rubber washers dont loose them or ask the city guys for new ones in case the old ones are too old and hard to reuse. Pull the meter out and on the intake side there is a screen that can be cleaned on some, yours may not have and it may be a supply issue from the city side. Some meters they installed inside houses cant be removed easily to keep people from messing with them. Put a pressure gauge a wall hydrant and run some water from a faucet and see what pressure you can maintain
