(A) All meters shall be installed, renewed and maintained at the expense of the Utility Commission, and the Utility Commission reserves the right to determine the size and type of meter used.
(B) Upon written request of any customer, the meter serving that customer shall be tested by the Utility Commission. The test will be made without charge to the customer if the meter has not been tested within five years preceding the requested test; otherwise, a charge of $25 will be made and then only if the test indicates meter accuracy within the limits of 2%. If a meter is inaccurate in excess of 2%, adjustments shall be made for the two preceding months prior to test according to the inaccuracy in excess of 2%.
(C) Where a meter has ceased to register, or meter reading cannot be obtained, the quantity of water consumed will be based upon an average of the prior six months’ consumption, considering the conditions of water service prevailing during the period in which the meter fails to register.
