It looks to me like your problem is mostly that you don't have tabs
between the fields.  I don't think COPY can be taught to parse this
input directly --- you need to preprocess the file to split the fields
apart.

BTW: after you get it split into fields, you're also going to find that
"OK" is not valid input for the integer "meter_id" column.
