A. Required: All water delivered by the City to its customers shall be metered through water meters owned by the City, except as provided in subsection 16-1-380B of this chapter.
B. Testing: If a user submits a written request for a test of his or her water meter, the Water Superintendent may, if under the circumstances deemed advisable, and in his or her discretion, order a test of the meter measuring the water delivered to such user. If such request to test the meter is made within twelve (12) months after the date of the last previous test, the user may be required to pay the costs of such test if the meter is found in such test to record from ninety seven percent (97%) to one hundred three percent (103%) of accuracy under methods of testing that are satisfactory to the Water Superintendent. In the event a meter is found to be recording less than ninety seven percent (97%) or more than one hundred three percent (103%) of accuracy, the City shall make such adjustments in the user's previous bill as are just and fair under the circumstances.
C. Meter Failure: If meters fail to register at any time, the water delivered of such a period shall be estimated on the basis of previous consumption. (Ord. 1352, 9-18-2018)
