(A) (1) Upon request of any property owner or occupant, the city will test the meter at the person’s premises. A deposit in an amount determined by resolution of the City Council will be required before the meter is discontinued.
(2) The deposit will be returned to the owner or occupant if the meter is not found to be registering correctly within 3%; otherwise, the deposit will be retained by the city to cover the cost of the test. The owner or occupant may be present at the time of the test. The result of any test will be reported to the owner or occupant.
(B) If the testing of a meter, as hereinabove provided, indicates that it registers in excess of 3% error, the charge to the consumer for water consumed and used during the quarter within which such test is made shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner.
