Check Metering. Where a customer monitors or evaluates his own consumption of gas or any portion thereof in an effort to promote and stimulate conservation or for accountability by means of individual meters, computers or otherwise, installed, operated, and maintained at such customer's expense, such practice will be defined as check metering. Gas check meters are devices that measure the volume of gas being delivered to particular locations in a system after measurement by a Public Service owned meter. Gas check meters provide the customer-of- record the means to apportion among the end users the cost of gas service being supplied through the Public Service owned meter. If the customer-of-record charges the tenant for the usage incurred by the tenant, reasonable administrative expenses may be included, such charges shall not exceed the amount Public Service would have charged such tenant if the tenant had been served and billed by Public Service directly. Check metering will be permitted in new or existing buildings or premises where the basic characteristic of use is industrial or commercial. Check metering will not be permitted in new or existing buildings or premises where the basic characteristic of use is residential, except where such buildings or premises are publicly financed or government owned; or are condominiums or cooperative housing: or are eleemosynary in nature. In the case of dwelling units, all gas consuming devices must be metered through a single check meter. Check metering for the aforementioned purposes and applications shall not adversely affect the ability of Public Service to render service to any customer within the affected building or premises or any other customer. The customer shall contact Public Service prior to the installation of any check metering device to ascertain that it will not cause operating problems. The owners of all check metering devices is that of the customer, along with all incidents in connection with said ownership, including accuracy of the equipment, meter reading and billing, liability arising from the presence of the equipment and the maintenance and repair of the equipment. Any additional costs which may result from and are attributable to the installation of check metering devices shall be borne by the customer.
