(A) The owner of property may have his or her water meter tested by making written request to the Finance Officer, and following approval by the City Council. Meter testing shall be at the city’s expense. Subsequent or repeated requests for testing shall be approved only if the City Council feels there is reason to do the same. If the City Council approves subsequent or repeat tests, and no improper meter reading is found, the city may require the user or customer to pay for the subsequent test.
(B) If any meter fails to register properly upon testing, the amount overcharged or undercharged for water use during such period shall be estimated by the City Council, such estimate to be based on the average amount registered during a like period.
