City employees reading meters shall have free access to reasonable hours of the day to all parts of every building and premises connected with city water for reading of meters and inspections. If city employees make repeated attempts to read a meter, with or without a remote reading device, and are not provided access to the meter, water service may be disconnected. This action shall be subsequent to reasonable notice to the owner or other account holder informing of the impending shutoff. The City Administrator shall be authorized to make adjustments in water charges when the amount billed is erroneous due to meter deficiency or other mistake.
