18-109 : Meter tests.
The city will, at its 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 check with the weighed or measured amounts of water within the percentage shown in the following table:
| Meter Size | Percentage |
| 5/8", 3/4", 1", 2" | 2% |
| 3" | 3% |
| 4" | 4% |
| 6" | 5% |
The city 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 customer shall pay actual charges for the meter testing.
The meter is then sent off to an outside company and it is tested by AWWA standards. If the test results are compliant with AWWA standards, the customer will be assessed the actual charges for the test. (modified)
