The Department of Water meters are accurate within two percent (2%), or within the allowable tolerances established in the current American Water Works Association (“AWWA”) Standards, whichever is more stringent. The Customer or user may request a meter test at any time. In order to protect the Department of Water against unreasonable demands for service, a testing fee charge of $110.00 for a 5/8" to 1" meter, $302.50 for a 1 ½" meter and $577.50 for 3" or larger meter, shall be made if the test shows the meter to be registering properly. If the meter is inaccurate, the water bill for the previous billing cycle shall be adjusted to the allowable percent limit and no charge for the test shall be assessed.
