(A) All service supplied by TCED will be measured by meters of standard manufacture which are owned, installed and maintained by TCED, except under rate schedules in which the charges for service are on an unmetered rate predicated on an estimated use of either TCED's or the customer's equipment such as street lighting, traffic signals and the like.
(B) TCED shall periodically test all meters and measuring devices for accuracy in billing for services.
(C) If a customer believes his or her meter is inaccurate, he or she may notify TCED in writing and TCED will test the meter at no charge. After a 12-month period, the customer may request another test. The customer will be required to pay the full cost of further testing if requested at less than three-year intervals, and where no meter error is found. TCED will make and furnish a written report of the test to the customer.
