Customer notifies the other party that it desires a special
test of any measuring equipment, Pipeline and Customer shall
cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy of
such equipment. In the event that a special test is requested
by other Pipeline or Customer and, after test, the equipment
is determined to register no greater than two percent, either
high or low, the requesting party shall pay all costs for said
test.
24.3 Correction of Metering Equipment - Any meter found, on test,
to register not more than two percent (2%) high or low shall
be deemed to be correct as to past measurements but shall be
corrected to record accurately. In the event any meter, upon
test, proves to be more than two percent (2%) high or low,
adjustment shall be made to fully correct the readings of such
meters; provided, however, that if the period in which the
error occurred is not known or cannot be agreed upon, then the
period shall be deemed to be either the last half of the time
elapsed since the last test, or the last thirty (30) days,
whichever is the lesser period. If a meter is out of repair
or is being tested or in the event that Pipeline's meters
become inoperative or manifestly in error and Customer has not
installed a check meter or meters as herein provided, or if
such check meters have been installed and fail accurately to
register or are manifestly in error, then the quantity of gas
delivered during the period Pipeline's meter or meters were
inoperative or manifestly in error shall be determined by
estimating as nearly as possible the quantity of gas delivered
hereunder during like periods under similar conditions when
such meter was registering accurately or correctly within the
tolerance set forth herein.
24.4 Customer shall be entitled to install and operate at its own
expense near the Point(s) of Delivery such meter or meters of
standard type as shall enable Customer to check the amount of
gas delivered. If Customer shall exercise this right of
installing and operating check meters, then in the event of
failure of Pipeline's meters to register accurately at any
time, the registration of Customer's check meters shall be
taken as the current quantity of gas delivered to Customer by
