§ 30-46. Testing of meters.

(a)

Any water customer may at any time request that his or her water meter be tested for accuracy by completing an application for a test and paying a meter test deposit in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). Upon receipt of a request to test a water meter, the city shall schedule said test and notify the customer of the time and place of the test so that the customer may be present, although the customer's presence is not required for the test to occur. If the test shows the meter to be more than two (2) percent fast, the meter shall be replaced with an accurate meter and the meter test deposit refunded to the customer. Otherwise, the meter test deposit shall be forfeited to the city. In either case, a brief written statement of the test findings shall be mailed to the customer's account address.

(b)

The meter test deposit for the testing of the following meter sizes shall be as follows: one-inch meters shall be seventy-five dollars ($75.00); one and one-half-inch meters shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00); two-inch and three-inch meters shall be one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00); four-inch meters shall be two hundred dollars ($200.00); and six-inch, eight-inch, and ten-inch meters shall be three-hundred dollars ($300.00).
