When a customer requests a meter test within twelve months after the date of the installation or of the last previous test of his meter, he may be required by the company to make a deposit equal to the reasonable cost of such test. The amount so deposited with the company shall be refunded or credited to the customer if the meter has a positive average error, that is, is fast, in excess of four percent, otherwise such deposit may be retained by the company. A customer may be present when the company tests his meter or may select an expert or other representative to be present. A written report, giving the results of such test, shall be made to the customer by the company.
