Section 4 CCR 723-8-8305 - Meter Testing Upon Request(a) Each utility furnishing metered steam service shall test the accuracy of any steam service meter upon request of a customer. Tests of meters shall be conducted free of charge if the meter has not been tested within the previous 12 months and if the customer agrees to accept the results of the test for the purposes of any dispute or informal complaint regarding the meter's accuracy; otherwise, the utility may charge a fee for performing the test. If a steam meter is found not to running fast beyond the limits prescribed in rule 8302, the customer making the request shall pay all costs associated with the test. The utility shall provide a written report of the test results to the customer and shall maintain a copy on file for at least two years.(b) Should a customer request and receive a meter test as prescribed in Rule 8305(a) and continue to dispute the accuracy of a meter, upon written request by a customer the utility shall make the disputed meter available for independent testing by a qualified meter testing facility of the customer's choosing. The customer is not entitled to take physical possession of the disputed meter.(c) This rule applies only when there is disagreement between the customer and the utility regarding the accuracy of the meter. If, upon completion of an independent test as prescribed in rule 8305(b), the disputed meter is found to be accurate within the limits of rule 8302, the customer shall bear all costs associated with conducting the test. If, upon completion of an independent test as prescribed in rule 8305(b), the disputed meter is found to be inaccurate beyond the limits prescribed in rule 8302, the utility shall bear all costs associated with conducting the test.
