(1) If a
utility's meters are maintained in compliance with the provisions for meter
testing herein and in accordance with the above schedule, (or as the test
interval has been extended in part as described below), and if the utility has
consistently demonstrated satisfactory compliance in its annual meter test
report submissions to the Authority over the most current consecutive
three-year period including the condition that the utility has not exceeded an
amount of overdue meters equal to ten percent (10%) of the total due tests in
any year over that three-year period, and if at least ninety percent (90%) of
the meters so tested register an accuracy of not less than ninety-six percent
(96%) nor more than one hundred two percent (102%) during the given three-year
period, such utility, upon request, may be granted an extension in the time
interval between test years. Such extension shall be in an increment of two
years and shall apply only to those meters in sizes of five-eighths inch,
three-quarters inch and one inch. Requests for subsequent two-year increment
extensions shall require the same satisfactory annual test reporting and
minimum three-year accuracy history and maximum allowed ten percent overdue
meters, as described above, for the then current test interval meters. The
maximum allowed meter test interval period shall be sixteen years.
(2) If a utility's water meter testing
program does not comply in whole or in part with the standards and requirements
prescribed in subsection (1) above during a consecutive three-year period, the
time interval between test years for those meters in sizes of five-eighths
through one inch may be reduced by the Authority to a period not less than six
years.
