In accordance with Ordinance 7-4-1 of the City of Harrisonburg, any customer has the right to request
that the meter through which water is being furnished be examined and tested for accuracy. Such
consumer shall make application in writing and with such application shall agree to a fee of twenty-five
($25.00) for meters < 2” in size or one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for meters 2” and above in size to
be added to customer’s water bill prior to test. In the event such inspection reveals said meter was
registering inaccurately, not functioning within standards set for by the American Water Works
Association (AWWA), said fee shall be waived and adjustment made for inaccurate reading.
In testing, meters may be removed from the line and replaced by a tested meter. If removed, the meter

I the undersigned, in accordance with the above referenced City of Harrisonburg Ordinance, am submitting this official
written request to have the meter supplying water to my premises tested for accuracy. I understand that a charge will be
added to my water bill for the costs incurred by the City, which will only be refunded if the test proves the meter is not

Request for Meter Test form, I agree to pay for any and all applicable costs.
