The Town of Poestenkill shall furnish the meters for all water
services connected to a public water system within the Town of Poestenkill.
The cost of the meters shall be determined from time to time by the
Town Board and shall be paid for by the owner, developer, or builder
upon procurement of the water service permit. All water meters shall
remain under the full ownership and control of the Town of Poestenkill.
If the property owner feels that a meter is not reading correctly,
he may request, in writing, that the meter be tested. If the meter
is found to be within ±1.5% of one-hundred-percent accurate
at all normal test flows as shown in Table 1 AWWA C700-64, a charge
will be made to the property owner for the meter test; the amount
thereof to be equal to the cost charged therefor by the manufacturer,
its representative, or designated test facility. If the meter is found
to be more than 1.5% slow, the water bills for the preceding two billing
periods will be adjusted in favor of the Town. If the meter is found
to be more than 1.5% fast, the water bills for the preceding two billing
periods will be adjusted in favor of the property owner.
