Upon the deposit of the fee designated by resolution, any consumer may request the city to test such consumer's meter. If upon examination and test, the meter shall be found to register 3% more than the quantity of water actually passing through it, an accurate meter shall be substituted and the fee refunded to the consumer. In such event, the water bill for the current period shall be adjusted by an amount in proportion to the error found. If the meter shall be found to be correct or to register less than the actual quantity of water passing through such meter, the fee shall be retained by the Department and the bill shall be paid as rendered. Any meter which does not vary more than 3% of the water actually passing through it shall be deemed to be correct.
