of a fee of ten dollars for each meter, the Department of Public Utility Control may
cause to be inspected any meter used in measuring electricity, gas or water supplied to
the petitioner. The department may prescribe such limits of variation from accurate
registration by such meters as it determines to be reasonable. The company supplying
electricity, gas or water through any such meter shall reimburse the petitioner for the
inspection fee if the meter is found not to register accurately within the limit of variation
so prescribed, and the company may not again use the meter until it is corrected and
approved by the department.(1949 Rev., S. 5671; P.A. 75-486, S. 1, 69; P.A. 77-614, S. 162, 610; P.A. 80-482, S. 113, 348; P.A. 81-348, S. 2.)
