Common use of Meter Inspection Clause in Contracts

Meter Inspection. Idaho Power shall inspect and test all meters upon their installation and at least once every four (4) years thereafter. If requested by Seller, Idaho Power shall make a special inspection or test of a meter and Seller shall pay the reasonable costs of such special inspection. Both Parties shall be notified of the time when any inspection or test shall take place, and each Party may have representatives present at the test or inspection. If a meter is found to be inaccurate or defective, it shall be adjusted, repaired or replaced, at Idaho Power's expense in order to provide accurate metering. If a meter fails to register, or if the measurement made by a meter during a test varies by more than two percent (2%) from the measurement made by the standard meter used in the test, adjustment (either upward or downward) to the payments Seller has received shall be made to correct those payments affected by the inaccurate meter for the actual period during which inaccurate measurements were made. If the actual period cannot be determined, corrections to the payments will be based on the shorter of (1) a period equal to one- half the time from the date of the last previous test of the meter to the date of the test which established the inaccuracy of the meter; or (2) six (6) months.
