No water meter shall be set or removed or disturbed without
a permit from the Water Utilities Department. In general, all meters
shall be installed and removed only by duly authorized agents of the
Water Utilities Department.
Upon the written application of any residential consumer of
the Town water supply, the Water Utilities Department shall remove
the meter and bring it to an independent testing facility. If upon
such inspection the meter is found to be more than 3% fast, the Water
Utilities Department shall make such reduction in the current bill
as the facts warrant. If, however, the meter does not over register
more than 3%, the residential customer shall be responsible for the
expense of the testing.
