The water meter shall be removed, and service discontinued. The charge for removal and reinstallation shall be $250.00, plus payment of any delinquent bill.

Section 302. All services will be metered. Where water meters fail to register, bills shall be arrived at by comparison with the same month of the previous year.

If a meter is tested at the customer’s request more than once in any six-month period, the customer shall pay a service charge of $25.00 for such service but in the event the meter is found to be more than 3% fast, then the customer will have his bill adjusted as stated above and no service charge will be applied.

Section 305. The City will allow each customer two free convenience cutoffs and cut-ons each year; thereafter, a fee of $25.00 will be billed for this service.
