3.6 Correction of Metering Errors - (Continued)
If, upon test, the measuring equipment shall be found to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2%), at a
recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for
the period since the last preceding test, then any previous
recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error
for any period that is known definitely or agreed upon. In
case the period is not known or agreed upon, such correction
shall be for a period equal to the lesser of one-half of the
time elapsed since the date of the last test or sixteen (l6)
days.
3.7 Failure of Meters - In the event a meter is out of service or
registering inaccurately, the quantity of gas delivered shall
be determined:
(i) By correcting the error if the percentage of error
is ascertainable by calibration, test or
mathematical calculations; or in the absence of (i),
then
(ii) By using the registration of any check meter or
meters, if installed and accurately registering; or
in the absence of both (i) and (ii), then
(iii) By estimating the quantity of delivery during
periods under similar conditions when the meter was
registering accurately.
3.8 Right-of-Way and Rural Consumers - El Paso shall install,
maintain and operate at its own expense, all main line taps
and high-pressure regulators necessary for the delivery of
natural gas by El Paso to Shipper for resale to right-of-way
consumers as well as to rural consumers situated remotely from
Shipper's general distribution system. For measurement of gas
delivered by El Paso to Shipper for resale to such
right-of-way consumers, Shipper shall install, maintain and
operate at Shipper's own expense, adjacent to El Paso's
pipeline, the meters, low-pressure regulators and other
equipment required.
