The Town will test meters as necessary to maintain against normal wear.
Where a meter is suspected to be inaccurate by the property owner, it will
be tested at the property owner's request. If said meter is found to
be accurate, the property owner shall bear the expense of the test.
No person shall in any way interfere or tamper with the water meter
or the valves and fittings connected therewith. When meters are sealed, the
seal may be broken only by the authorized agent of the Town. Should the seal
be broken in any other manner, the property owner will be held responsible,
and the Town reserves the right to order the meter removed for test at the
expense of the property owner.
Whenever the distance from the water main to the point of entry of the
water service line into the building exceeds 100 feet, a tile set meter installation
shall be required. Such connection shall be in accordance with Town of Van
Buren Standard Specifications and Details for Water Facilities.
