1 Section 41: Meter Requirement--Waived for Low Pressure. <br /> 2 A meter shall be installed on all services larger than three-quarter <br /> 3 inch; except, in locations where static pressure is less than twenty pounds, <br /> 4 a larger unmetered service may be installed upon approval of the Utilities <br /> 5 Superintendent. <br /> 6 Section 42: Meter Testing--Frequency and Charges. <br /> 7 In the event a meter is out of order and fails to register, the <br /> 8 consumer shall be charged at the average daily consumption as shown by the <br /> 9 meter when in order. Meters in sizes from one-half inch to two inch <br /> 10 inclusive, may be removed and tested free of charge to the consumer once <br /> 11 every five years, and may be tested more often than once during a five year <br /> 12 period upon the written request of the customer and may be tested in his <br /> 13 presence in the shops of the Utilities Division and a report thereon duly <br /> 14 made. Both the parties to the test must accept the finding so made. If the <br /> 15 test discloses an error against the customer of more than three percent in <br /> 16 the meter's register, the excess charge during the three previous readings <br /> 17 shall be credited to the consumer's account and the Utilities Division shall <br /> 18 bear the entire expense of the test and the deposit required as hereinafter <br /> 19 prescribed shall be returned. When no such error is found, the person who <br /> 20 has requested the test shall forfeit the deposit as a charge for conducting <br /> 21 the test. Before making a test of any meter more frequently than the five <br /> 22 year period, the person requesting the test shall, at the time of filing his <br /> 23 request with the Division, place a deposit with the City Treasurer of the <br /> 24 amount charged for such test, subject to the conditions herein stated: <br /> 25 A. For testing one-half inch meters to three-quarter inch meters, <br /> 26 inclusive - $20; or as set by Council ordinance or resolution. <br /> 27 B. For testing one inch meters - $30; or as set by Council ordinance or <br /> resolution. <br /> 28 C. For testing two inch meters - $40; or as set by Council ordinance or <br /> 29 resolution. <br /> 30 D. For the testing of meters larger than the two inch size - the amount of <br /> the deposit shall be estimated at the actual cost of making the test. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 <br /> 15 <br />
