(A) Any consumer may request the village to make a test of the accuracy of the meter then in use on their premises. Such tests will be made by the village without charge, provided that such meter has not been tested within two years preceding such a request. In case a consumer requests an accuracy test of a meter which has been previously tested within two years, then the consumer shall be required, prior to making test, to deposit with the village the sum of $25 to cover the cost of removing, testing and replacing such meter.
(B) In the event such meter is found by testing, to register incorrectly at full capacity, by more than 2%, then another accurate meter shall be substituted and the test deposit shall be refunded. Past gas bills shall be adjusted by refund or credit of such percentage of the amount of the gas bills for a period of not more than three months previous to such test.
(C) In the event that the meter is found to be registering correctly, the consumer shall forfeit the test deposit and such funds shall be deposited in the gas operating funds of the village.
