(A) If the consumer believes his bill to be in error, he shall present his claim at the Town Hall before the bill becomes delinquent. Such claim if made after the bill has become delinquent shall not be effective in preventing discontinuance of service as heretofore provided. The consumer may pay such bill under protest and the payment shall not prejudice his claim.
(B) The town will make special meter readings at the request of the consumer for a fee established by the schedule adopted by the Board of Commissioners, which is available at the office of the Town Clerk.
(C) Meters will be tested at the request of the consumer upon payment to the town of the actual cost to the town of making the test, provided, however, that if the meter is found to over-register beyond 10% of the correct volume, no charge will be made.
(D) If the seal of a meter is broken by other than the town's representative or if the meter fails to register correctly or is stopped for any cause, the consumer shall pay an amount estimated from the record of his previous bills and/or from other proper data.
