(B) Adjustment of Bills for Meter Error:

Fast Meters: When upon test a meter is found to be registering more than two percent (2%) fast, under conditions of normal operation, the District will refund to the customer the full amount of the overcharge based on corrected meter readings for the period, not exceeding six (6) months, that the meter was in use; unless the exact duration of fast meter registration can be determined.
2. Slow Meters:
a. When upon test a meter used for domestic or residential service is found to be registering more than twenty five percent (25%) slow, the District may bill the customer for the amount of the undercharge based upon corrected meter readings for the period, not exceeding six (6) months, that the meter was in use.
