(A) All municipal water meters shall be tested upon the complaint of the consumer and payment of a fee of $30. The test shall be performed by city personnel or a city-approved agency. If the meter test results indicate the meter is registering an amount of water in excess of the actual amount of water being used by the water consumer, the meter will be replaced and the $30 fee shall be refunded to the consumer. If the test indicates the meter is accurate, the fee shall not be refunded and the subject meter shall be re-installed.
(B) All meters 2 inches and larger shall be tested, and if necessary, repaired or replaced, by city personnel or city approved agency at the consumer’s expense every 5 years. The consumer’s expense shall consist of an amount equal to the amount charged to the City of Monticello, by the company designated by the city to perform the test and/or meter replacement.
