well they can't be on the wall of the house as they will freeze, so they have to dig a pit and install it, or they put them inside the house. the ones inside the house have a transmitter on them so a reciver truck just drives down the road and takes the readings. the cheeper one for the utility is to install it inside the house, then they don't have to dig. and for places like where I am, they would have to burry it 6 feet deep or more. I know if Victoria mine was about 1.5 foot deep.
