Common use of Meter Maintenance Clause in Contracts

Meter Maintenance. SoCalGas will perform scheduled meter accuracy testing and calibration of its metering facilities pursuant to SoCalGas’ standard practices, procedures and methods associated with the installed measurement equipment. Interconnector or its duly authorized representative(s) 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 SoCalGas’ measuring equipment used in measuring deliveries from Interconnector to SoCalGas. SoCalGas shall give written, fax, or electronic mail notice to Interconnector prior to calibrating and testing. Except in the event of an emergency or operational necessity, such notice shall be given to Interconnector at least three (3) business days prior to any such activity. The records from such measuring equipment shall remain the property of SoCalGas, but upon request SoCalGas shall make available to Interconnector (and its representatives) copies of any such records and charts, together with calculations therefrom, for inspection and verification during normal business hours. SoCalGas will perform unscheduled and episodic tests of its measuring equipment upon Interconnector’s request, where such tests can be operationally executed to verify metering integrity/accuracy. SoCalGas will perform such testing in a reasonable timeframe. If, as a result of any testing, it is determined that there has been a combined (meter an transmitters) error in measurement greater than one percent (1%), the Parties will adjust all prior periods back to the period where it can be mutually determined and agreed upon that the errors commenced. If such an agreement cannot be reached, the calculated combined error amount shall be applied to ½ of the period extending back to the date of the last test/calibration where the combined meter error was shown to be less than one percent (1%). If any Interconnector request for special calibration shows that the combined measurement error does not exceed one percent (1%), then the cost of such requested special calibration shall be borne by Interconnector. In the event that any test of the metering equipment yields a combined measurement error greater than one percent (1%), then the cost of such requested special test and subsequent calibration shall be borne by SoCalGas.

In the event that there is a conflict between this provision and Interconnector’s FERC approved tariff, Interconnector’s tariff shall prevail.
