D. Meter Tests And Bill Adjustments:
1. When the accuracy of a meter is questioned, upon written request from the customer, the department will test the meter by comparing with a standard test meter. If the meter is found to be accurate within plus or minus two percent (±2%), the customer will reimburse the department for the cost of said test. Prior to any test, the department reserves the right to require a deposit to cover said costs.
2. If the meter being tested is found to be more than two percent (2%) slow or fast, no charge shall be made for testing, and the department will adjust the proportion to the error (either fast or slow) for the period covered by the billing in question and until the date of installation of a new meter, but said adjustment period, in any event, shall not exceed ninety (90) days.
