Consumers supplied by meter shall take every reasonable precaution to protect the water service from injury or damage by frost or otherwise, and shall be liable for all injury to meters. If from any cause the meter fails to register correctly, the charge to the consumer shall be at the rate used for the corresponding period of the month previous, or if for any reason the rate for the corresponding period of the previous month cannot be justly applied, the rate shall be equitably adjusted by the PWD. For the testing of each meter at the request of the property owner, or lessee, if the meter is found defective, no charge will be made, but if found in good order a charge of $25 will be made.
