Section 19
Charge for supply of gas to be ascertained by appropriate meter

The meter, to be provided by the licensee, whether by way of sale, hire or loan, shall be of the type approved by the Commission or by any other relevant government body appointed by the Commission for that purpose.
(3)
The meter shall be installed on the consumer’s premises in a position to be determined by the licensee, unless in certain circumstances it is more reasonable to place it outside the premises or in some other position.
(4)
If the consumer refuses or fails to have his supply of gas through the appropriate meter provided and installed in accordance with subsections (2) and (3) the licensee may refuse to give or may discontinue the supply.
