(A) A consumer may require that the water meter be tested. If the meter is found accurate, a charge in an amount established by the Village Council will be made. If the meter is found defective, it shall be repaired or an accurate meter installed and no charge shall be made.
(B) A meter shall be considered accurate if, when tested, it registers not to exceed 2% more or 2% less than the actual quantity of water passing through it. If a meter registers in excess of 2% more than the actual quantity of water passing through it, it shall be considered “fast” to that extent. If a meter registers in excess of 2% less than the actual quantity of water passing through it, it shall be considered "slow" to that extent.
(C) When the Department, on its own initiative, makes a test of a water meter, it shall be done without cost to the consumer, other than his or her paying the amount due the village for water used by him or her as provided in this chapter, if the meter is found to be "slow."
