Section En 603.03 - Meter Reading and Bill Forms(a) All meters used for metered sales shall have registration devices indicating the volume of water in either cubic feet or United States gallons. Where a constant or multiplier is necessary to convert the meter reading to cubic feet or gallons, the constant shall be plainly marked on the face of the meter.(b) In instances where the water utility installs a remote meter read device, the meter having actual contact with water shall serve as the primary registrant and shall be the determinant for all billing and billing adjustments.(c) A water utility shall, except as a result of weather-related emergencies or other extenuating circumstances, read the meter or remote read device of its metered customers every billing period. In no case shall it do so less than every third billing period, except as provided in (d) below.(d) If the billing period is 6 months or longer, the water utility shall, except as a result of weather-related emergencies or other extenuating circumstances, obtain a reading of the meter or remote read device of its metered customers each billing period. In no case shall it do so less than annually.(e) When a remote meter read device is a pulse or other non-encoder type, the water utility shall obtain a reading from the water meter itself at least every 2 years.N.H.
