Might be the reason Wet Boots said to forget about 3/4".
But I would question the 1" meter. If the water company there is like the water company here, the larger the meter, the larger the monthly minimum. Last time I tried running the numbers for my house, the savings in reduced sewer fees during the summer would not offset the cost of paying paying the monthly minimum during the winter.
I also don't know if a larger meter is going to gain you much if your in a low pressure situation. If you don't have much pressure to work with, you might have to limit gpm to reduce friction losses. If you have to reduce the flow, then there won't be much point in using 1" over a 3/4".
Of course, in the end, you just have to run the numbers for your water company. The way they do things are likely different that what its like here.
