The user shall pay for any required metering device and it shall remain the property of the user. The meter shall be subject to the same rules and regulations which govern the meters of the utility. All meter testing results must be submitted to the utility. The costs of mandatory testing are the responsibility of the user. All other meters shall be tested and calibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications. The utility may require that a user's meter be tested if the utility suspects that the meter is not registering accurately.
