Our hot water meter (picture attached) has for the past year been unreadable due to what to me appears to be condensation or steaming under the clear plastic that is covering the meter (though this is just my guess). The plastic does not seem to be removable.

Building maintenance tried drilling a small hole in the plastic a few months ago to avoid having to change the meter, but that doesn't seem to have improved the situation (the small clear area was clear also before the hole was drilled).

I tried to blow on the meter with hot air for a 1-2 minutes using a hairdryer, but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Is there something else that I could try myself to make the meter readable?

If they drilled one hole, then get them to drill a second and then use a small pump to draw air through to get rid of the condensation - even make an air dryer using those silica gel bags that come with electronic equipment.
