Meter Testing

A charge of $50.00 will be assessed to the customer's account each time a 5/8" x 3/4" meter is tested for accuracy, at the customer's request, and the meter is found to be registering accurately. For meters larger than 3/4", the testing charge will be the actual cost of testing the meter plus 15 percent. According to the American Water Works Association, a meter is considered to be accurate if it measures between 98.5% - 101.5% at three separate flow rates. If a water meter is found to be over registering, the meter will be replaced and the customer's account adjusted. If the water meter is under registering, a replacement meter will be installed at no adjustment to the customer. Customers requesting meter tests are encouraged to be present when the meter is tested.
