Rule 701-261.15 - Notice of meter seal breakage

Whenever a meter is required under Iowa Code chapter 452A, pursuant to the director's power granted under Iowa Code section 452A.59, and said meter is required to be sealed by Iowa Code chapter 452A, (C.N.G. or L.P.G. dealer and user meters) the department must be notified within 24 hours of the breaking of the seal for any reason. Notice shall contain, but not be limited to, the following information:

1. The name, address, and license number of the person who controls the meter.

2. The meter number.

3. The type of fuel pumped through the meter.

4. The date of seal breakage.

5. The name and address of the person(s) responsible for the seal breakage.

6. The reason for seal breakage.

7. The meter reading before seal breakage.

8. The meter reading after the meter is resealed.

9. The signature of the person who controls the meter.

For reporting purposes, the meter shall be considered two meters, one before the seal breakage and one after, and should be reported on that basis, noting the seal breakage on the return. The meter readings of the meter before the seal breakage shall be reported by meter number as usual. The meter readings after the meter was resealed shall be reported by using the meter number plus the letter "A." The two readings must appear on the same return schedule.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 452A.3 and 452A.8 as amended by 1999 Iowa Acts, Senate File 136, and Iowa Code sections 452A.59 and 452A.62.
