Section 77
Test of meter
of Gas Supply Regulations 2023
The licensee shall have the meter tested upon request in writing by the consumer and upon tendering the fee as may be determined by the licensee.
(2)
The test under subregulation (1) shall be made by the licensee as soon as practicable upon receipt of the request and upon payment of the fee to the licensee and the consumer may be present during the test.
(3)
If —
(a)
the gas meter is found to be inaccurate by more than two percent; or
(b)
the gas meter is found to be registering the consumption of gas when no gas is flowing, the fee shall be refunded and the consumer’s account shall be adjusted.
(4)
The adjustment under subregulation (3) shall be limited to the bill rendered for the month prior to the month in which the consumer requested a test of the meter and to the consumer’s account from the date of the last bill to the date of removal of the meter for testing but the licensee may, if he considers special circumstances justify such a course, authorize adjustment of the bill rendered prior to the period stipulated in this subregulation.
(5)
In the case where the licensee finds that the gas meter is not registering correctly, the consumer’s account shall be adjusted as in subregulation (4).
