(A) The Director shall be responsible to test and correct any meter, which in his judgment is registering incorrectly, without the consent of the property owner. The city shall not be responsible for breakage of pipes or valves occurring during removal or installation of meters, where such breakage is due to old or faulty plumbing.
(B) Upon request from an owner or consumer and agreement to pay for test charge, the Director will remove any meter to the test shop for test, upon payment of a ten dollar ($10) fee for a three-fourths (3/4) inch meter and for all other sizes a fee equal to the cost of removing and testing the meter. If, upon examination and test, it is found that the meter registers outside the tolerance limits of the following percentages of water through it, viz., two percent (2%) over or under on disc meters sizes three-fourths (3/4) inch to two (2) inch on flows from one to twenty (20) gallons per minute, or five percent (5%) over or under on all other types and sizes of meters on flows from low to high rating, then it shall be considered "inaccurate" and the water charges will be adjusted upon the basis of that test and no charge will be made for testing.
