Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 165:65-7-12 - Meter testing on request of consumer

(a) Upon receipt of written request of a consumer, the utility shall within twenty (20) calendar days thereafter test the accuracy of the meter or replace the meter.

(b) No deposit or payment shall be required, whether or not there is an applicable charge in the utility's tariff, from the consumer for such meter test as requested by the consumer, unless the consumer has requested such meter test within the previous twelve (12) months. If the meter meets the accuracy standards of the Commission, and the consumer has not requested such a test in the previous twelve (12) month period, and the consumer was notified before such test of the tariff charge that might be applicable to such meter test, then the consumer should bear the expense of the test provided an approved charge is in the utility's tariff.

(c) Any charge made pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section shall be refunded to the consumer if the meter is found when tested to have an average error of more than two percent (2%).

(d) A consumer may make written request to be present when the utility conducts the test on his meter and may have an expert or other representative present at the time, in which case the utility shall conduct the test only in the presence of the persons requested.

(e) A written report stating the name of the consumer requesting the test, the date of the request, the location of the premises where the meter has been installed, the type, make, size and serial number of the meter, the date of removal, the date tested, and the result of the test shall be supplied to such consumer within ten (10) business days after the completion of the test.
