Any person believing that the water meter on his or her premises is not accurate may, by depositing the sum equal to the expenses incurred for testing with the Municipal Clerk, have the same tested. If the meter is found to under-register, the sum of deposit shall be retained to cover the cost of the test. If the meter is found to over-register, a tested meter shall be installed and the deposit returned to the consumer advancing the same. All meters on premises shall be open to the Municipal Inspector at all reasonable hours, and shall be kept open and free from obstructions. Consumers shall be held responsible for all damages to meters not due to defects in the meter, and will be charged as a part of their monthly bill for any expenses incurred in repairing meters due to negligence of the consumers.
