Legal Documents of Gatlinburg

The municipality will, at his own expense, make routine tests of meters when it considers such tests desirable.

In testing meters, the water passing through a meter will be weighed or measured at various rates of discharge and under varying pressures. To be considered accurate, the meter registration shall be within the accuracy limits as stated in the ANSI/AWWA C700 Standards for Cold Water Meters.

The municipality will also make tests or inspections of its meters at the request of the customer. However, if a test requested by a customer shows a meter to be accurate within the limits stated above, the cost of such meter test shall be borne by the customer.

If such test shows a meter not to be accurate within such limits, the cost of such meter test shall be borne by the municipality. (1976 Code, § 13-111, modified)
