GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT (Cont'd.)
4.2 Demand Meters. If the Rate Schedule according to which gas deli-
vered to Shipper is billed includes a demand charge based on the
Dth taken by Shipper on the day of greatest delivery during a
billing month, Transporter shall use meters suitable for determin-
ing such greatest daily delivery.
4.3 Check Meters. Shipper or Operator may install, maintain and
operate, at its own expense, such check measuring equipment as it
shall desire. Such equipment shall be so installed as not to
interfere with the operation of Transporter's measuring equipment
at or near the points of delivery. The Transporter shall have
access to such check measuring equipment at all reasonable hours,
but the reading, calibrating and adjusting thereof and the changing
of charts shall be done only by the Shipper or Operator.
4.4 Installation. All installations of measuring equipment, applying
to or affecting receipts or deliveries by Transporter, shall be
made in such manner as to permit an accurate determination of the
quantity of gas delivered and ready verification of the accuracy of
measurement. Reasonable care shall be exercised in the installa-
tion, maintenance and operation of any pressure regulating
equipment so as to avoid, as far as practicable, any inaccuracy in
the determination of the volume of gas delivered hereunder.
4.5 Access to Meters and Records. Transporter and Shipper or Operator
shall have the right to be present at the time of any installing,
reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting, testing,
calibrating, or adjusting done in connection with the other's
equipment used in measuring or checking receipts and deliveries of
gas. The records from such equipment shall remain the property of
their owner, but upon request, each will submit to the other its
records and/or charts, together with calculations therefrom, for
inspection and verification, subject to return within ten (10)
days after receipt thereof.
4.6 Measurement Equipment Failures. In the event measurement equipment
is out of service, or registering inaccurately, the quantity and/or
volume of gas received or delivered by Transporter shall be esti-
mated:
