Francine finds her family's water meter next to their land lord's office ([[Mr. Sanders]]). Mr. Sanders tells her how the multiple meters used to be used frequently, but no longer are needed because he charges a flat rate. He suspects Francine is up to something, and decides to monitor the Frenskys' water meter as well. | Francine finds her family's water meter next to their land lord's office ([[Mr. Sanders]]).
