(A) It shall be the privilege of each consumer to insist upon a meter test when the consumer has deposited with the City Clerk an amount set by resolution of the Council. When the deposit has been made the meter shall be tested, and if the meter is found to be registering correctly, the deposit shall go to the City for the extra service rendered, but if the meter should be found incorrect, it will be repaired or replaced by the City and the deposit refunded.

(B) When a meter is proved defective, the charge for any month affected shall be equal to an average based upon the three preceding months, and the meter may be replaced or immediately repaired. (Ord. 79, passed 12-13-1989. Code 1982 § 11-6-3. Code 2012 § 52.077.)
