GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If, upon testing, any measuring equipment shall be found to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent, 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 which is
known definitely but in case the period is not known or agreed upon,
such correction shall be for a period extending over one-half of the
time elapsed since the date of last test, not to exceed a period of
180 days.
11.6 (a) Measurement data corrections should be processed within six
(6) months of the production month, with a three (3) month
rebuttal period. This standard shall not apply in the case of
deliberate omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of
fact. Parties' other statutory or contractual rights will not
otherwise be diminished by this standard.

meter is out of service, or registering inaccurately, the volume of

installed and accurately registering; or, in the absence of (a);
(b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is
ascertainable by calibration, tests, or mathematical calculation; or
in the absence of both (a) and (b), then;
(c) by estimating the quantity of delivery by deliveries during
periods under similar conditions when the meter was registering
accurately.
