(B) A suitable place for meters, safe from frost or other damage and accessible for examination, must be provided by and at the expense of the owner or occupant. In any case where the meter is injured by freezing or otherwise damaged by act or neglect of the owner or occupant, it shall be repaired or replaced, and the expense thereof shall be paid by the owner or occupant of the premises.
