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 one hundred
fifty dollars ($150.00) for meters <2” in size or three hundred fifty dollars ($350.00) 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
may be tested at the Public Utilities office, located on Beery Rd or by a contracted third-party. Meters
may also be tested and recalibrated in place without removal and replacement. All meters shall be
removed, replaced, tested or calibrated during the regular hours of business unless the customer will pay
the overtime and added expenses, whether the meter passes or fails the test.
Other than at customer’s request, The City reserves the right to test meters at any time. No charge will be
made to the customer for meters tested pursuant to this subsection.
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
functioning in accordance with the standards set forth by the American Water Works Association. By submitting the
Request for Meter Test form, I agree to pay for any and all applicable costs.
