§ 122-42. Adjustment of bills; meter readings and inspections.
Latest version.
When a customer is determined by the county to have been overcharged or undercharged
as a result of incorrect meter reading, defective metering, incorrect application
of rate schedule fees and charges, or mistake in billing, the amount so determined
shall constitute an adjustment to the next billing. The adjustment shall be accomplished
over a period not to exceed 60 days, unless otherwise directed by the utilities director
or authorized representative and so noted on the account. The county shall read and
inspect meters periodically to determine their condition and accuracy and as a basis
for periodic billings. If a customer requests an inspection or re-reading of a meter,
the county may impose a service charge therefor in accordance with policies for service
established by the county.
