(A) Upon the written request of any owner or customer, the Utility Department will test the water meter supplying the premises. A fee as established by the city will be required before the meter is disconnected, which will be returned if the meter is found to be registering in excess of 2% fast, otherwise the deposit will be retained to cover the cost of making the test.
(B) If the test of the meter shows that it fails to register correctly within 2%, the Utility Department shall make a charge or allow a credit in proportion to the error, for all water registered in excess of the minimum amounts allowed by the established rates, the same to be retroactive for three billing periods only.
