testing.
The meter will be tested after the Town receives a cash deposit
equal to the current cost of meter testing by the Town’s chosen independent
contractor, estimated shipping costs of $30, 3 hours of Certified Operator labor
at $60 per hour and 1 hour of office staff labor at $20 per hour.
If the
meter, which when removed and checked, proves to be accurate or under reading,
no refund will be issued. Meter errors of three percent (3%) or less shall be
deemed accurate readings.
If the meter, which when removed and checked, proves
to be over reading, no charges will be made to the water user, the cash deposit
will be refunded and an credit adjustment for the error will be estimated, for
not more than three months.
Wahlert moved to adopt the policy as printed with
Colerick seconding. A roll call vote was taken with all present voting yes,
motion carried 4-0.
