If a meter fails to register or accurately measure the water, the charge for water consumed shall be paid for at the established rate based upon past average billings as determined by the city. Whenever a consumer believes that a meter is inaccurate the customer can request a new meter be installed. Such request shall be accompanied by a payment equal to the cost of a new meter as listed in the fee schedule ordinance. If any such meter is found to be inaccurate the customer shall be refunded the new meter charge. If the meter shall be found to be accurate in its recordings or calculations the new meter cost shall not be refunded.
