The Operating Agent shall make such tests during the month of June of each year or at such other times as may be agreed upon. The Operating Agent shall adjust or replace any meter which is found to be inaccurate. The Operating Agent shall, at the request of either San Diego or Riverside, or on its own initiative, make special tests of said metering systems. The Operating Agent shall give San Diego and Riverside reasonable notice of the time when meter tests will be made, and San Diego and Riverside shall have the right to have a representative witness the tests. The costs of meter tests shall be shared by the Parties, other than Anaheim, in proportion to their ownership interests in the Common Facilities, except that the requesting or initiating Party shall pay the entire cost of any special tests it requests or initiates wherein the percentage error is found to be equal to or less than one (1) percent slow or fast. 18.2 If any test shows any metering system to be inaccurate by more than one (1) percent, or if any metering system fails to register, corrections, equal to the amount of error as found, shall be made to the records of the measurements made by such metering system during the period of such erroneous meter registration or, if such period cannot be determined or reasonably estimated, for half the period from the date of the last preceding test. Billing adjustments or energy exchanges corresponding to such corrections shall be made in accordance with procedures approved by the Engineering Representatives.
