A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the customer shall maintain all water lines and connections within his/her property. The water meter shall remain the property of the Town. All water meters, except in cases where they are damaged by the customer, shall be maintained and repaired by the Town at its expense.

B. The customer may request the meter be subjected to a test. If the test indicates that the meter is recording usage at or below American Water Works Association standards, the user will pay the costs associated with the testing of the water meter and the customer will immediately pay any outstanding water bills associated with the meter that was tested.

If the meter is found to be reading too high, no more than a three (3) month credit based on the past monthly average for the past year will be given to the customer and the customer will be reimbursed by the Town for the cost of the test.

C. If the seal on a meter is broken by anyone other than the Town’s representative, customer shall pay an amount estimated from the record of a customer’s account history of previous usage and fines may be imposed for tampering with the meter.
