Meter Accuracy

Meters usually slow down with age. City ordinance allows for a plus or minus 3% accuracy. The City tests both electric and water meters on a regular basis. If the customer feels a meter is inaccurate, a $25.00 deposit is required. After testing, if the meter is within the 3% guidelines, the deposit is forfeited. If it is not within the guidelines, adjustments in billing are made, either up or down, for the previous six months.
