The electric department will, at its own expense, make periodic tests and inspections of its meters in order to maintain a high standard of accuracy. The electric department will make additional tests or inspections of its meters at the request of the customer.
If tests made at the customer's request show that the meter is accurate within two percent (2%), slow or fast, no adjustment will be made in the customer's bill, and the testing charge of ten dollars ($10.00) per meter will be paid by the customer. If the test shows the meter to be in excess of two percent (2%) fast or slow, an adjustment shall be made in the customer's bill for a period of not over thirty (30) days prior to the date of such test, and the cost of making the test shall be borne by the electric department. A ten dollar ($10.00) charge will be made when a trip to re-read a meter is made at the customer request. If the new reading shows an error was made in the previous reading the $10.00 reading charge will be waived.
