023-3 Wyo. Code R. § 3-15

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 3-15 - Use of Meter

(a) Each utility shall adequately meter and measure the commodity delivered into its distribution systems to determine demand capacity, losses, capacity constraints and, if applicable, voltage levels.

(b) Each utility shall measure customer commodity use by industry-recognized and approved certified meters.

(c) Each utility shall install and maintain at its own expense all equipment necessary to regulate and measure the commodity delivered per tariff.

(d) Upon a customer's request, a utility may install and maintain an additional meter at the customer's expense.

(e) No pre-payment meter shall be used by the utility except when a utility's tariff permits, it is voluntarily chosen by the customer and the utility's tariff describes discontinuation of service procedures. The customer retains the option to request regular metered service at any time, which may be subject to deposit. Customer accounts where service is provided to persons whose physical health or safety would be endangered if the utility service were discontinued are not eligible for pre-payment meter service. If a pre-payment meter is in use, the utility shall:

  • (i) Provide continuous customer access to account information and payment options to enable continued service; and
  • (ii) Inform the customer of all payment options and provide a telephone number or other electronic communication options in case of emergencies and/or service problems.

(f) Any non-metered utility service shall be governed by tariff.
