(A) The borough will furnish, own and maintain one meter or one unified set of meters and metering equipment for each service contract. The customer shall provide, at his or her own expense, suitable space, and enclosures where necessary, for the installation and use of the borough’s metering and transforming equipment and the customer shall permit no person otherwise lawfully authorized, to remove, inspect or tamper with such equipment. If borough’s equipment is destroyed or damaged or prevented from properly registering the current supplied to the customer due to the negligence of the customer or by any unauthorized person, the cost of the necessary replacement or repairs, together with the reasonable cost of investigation and a fair estimate of the energy not registered, shall be paid by the customer. The borough also reserves the right to require the customer to install at the customer’s own expense such reasonable service facilities as will protect the borough from further tampering or diversion of current.
(B) In the event that the representatives of the borough have been unable to enter any premises within the borough for the purpose of making electric meter readings for a period of not less than three consecutive billing periods the owner of such premises may be required to relocate such electric meter to the outside of the premises at such owner’s expense within 30 days from receipt of notice to relocate such meter duly given by the Borough Manager or by his or her duly appointed representative by registered mail to such owner.
