(1) Each utility
furnishing metered water service shall provide the necessary standard
facilities instruments and other equipment for testing its meters in compliance

these regulations.

(3) The over-all
accuracy of the test equipment and test procedures shall be sufficient to
enable tests of service meters within the requirements of these regulations.
(4) Where a standard test meter is
used for field testing of service meters, such device shall be checked in an
approved meter shop for accuracy at least once a year, adjustments made when
necessary and a record kept of such tests and adjustments.
