(A) Upon written request of any customer, the meter serving the customer shall be tested by the city. This test will be made without charge to the customer if the meter has not been tested within 12 months preceding the requested test; otherwise, a charge of $3 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%.
(B) 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.
