(1) The Corporation may at any time cause a test of a meter to be carried out, if it has sufficient justification and, or if it is so directed by the Authority.

(2) Meters shall, on application by the user, be tested by the Corporation and the user may be present at the test. The results of the test shall be binding both on the user and on the Corporation, and the volume of water abstracted from the date of the last reading of the meter to the date of the test, or of the removal of the meter for the purpose of the test, shall be calculated in accordance with the result of such test.

(3) An application fee for testing the water meter shall be charged in accordance with the Schedule: Provided that this fee shall be reimbursed if after testing, the meter is found to be incorrect beyond six per centum (6%) of actual volume of water tested.

(4) When a meter is found to be out of order, notice of the fact shall be given in writing to the user by the Corporation and the meter shall be replaced by another meter. A record of the reading of the new meter at the time of its installation shall be given to the user at his request:

Provided that the Authority may allow a groundwater source to be temporarily unmetered until a new meter is installed.
