The Administrator or any designee shall make a test of the accuracy of any water meter at any time when requested in writing. If it is found that such meter overruns to the extent of 5% or more, the cost of the test shall be borne by the City and a refund shall be made to the customer for overcharges collected, but not more than 5% of the total water bill and not for a longer period than 3 months. If the meter is found to be accurate, slow, or less than 5% fast, the user shall pay a testing charge of $50.00 for meters 1" and smaller. For meters larger than 1", the user shall pay a testing charge of $50.00 plus the calculated staff time needed to perform the test.
