The electric energy to be used under the terms of this schedule shall be measured at the delivery voltage as to maximum demand, use of electric energy and power factor determination through meters to be located in a building or buildings approved by the Company, and furnished by the Customer on the Customer’s premises. The Company shall own, furnish and install the necessary metering equipment. All bills, other than bills for the minimum payments, shall be calculated upon the registration of these meters. The meters installed on the Customer’s premises, by the Company under this schedule, shall remain the property of the Company and shall be safely kept and protected by the Customer.

The Company shall, at all times, have the right to inspect and test meters, and if found to be defective or inaccurate, to repair or replace them at its option; provided that notice shall be given to the Customer before testing the meters so that the Customer may have its representative present if desired. Any meter tested and found to be not more than one (1) percent inaccurate shall be considered accurate and correct but shall be adjusted to be as nearly correct as possible. If, as a result of any test hereunder, any meter shall be found inaccurate or incorrect in excess of one (1) percent, such meter shall be adjusted to be as nearly correct as possible, and the reading of such meter previously taken shall be corrected to the percentage of inaccuracy so found, but no such correction shall, without the consent of both parties, extend back beyond one-half of the period between the date of such test and the date of the last prior test showing the meter to be within one (1) percent accurate, nor more than forty-five (45) days, whichever is shorter. The Company shall repair or replace a defective or inaccurate meter within a reasonable time after discovery of such defect or inaccuracy. During the time there is no meter in service or the meter in service is not registering, it shall be assumed that the energy consumed is the same as the daily average for the most recent period of similar operation with respect to usage of energy preceding the time the meter is out of service. The Customer shall also have the right to require a test of meters at reasonable intervals upon giving notice of its desire to have such test made by the Company.

The properly authorized agents of the Company, displaying the official badge of the Company, shall at all hours have access to said premises for the purpose of examining, repairing, or removing its meters and other property, and delivering notices hereunder, and no one who is not an agent of the Company shall be permitted to handle, remove, or tamper with the same, except in an emergency. In order that only duly qualified agents of the Company may have access to the Company’s equipment on the Customer’s property, the Company from time to time shall furnish the Customer with a list of the names of the employees or name of the crew foreman, so that the gatekeeper of the Customer will immediately pass those employees so certified.
