N.D. Admin. Code 69-09-02-28

Current through Supplement No. 395, January, 2025
Section 69-09-02-28 - Meter records
1. Each utility shall keep a history record of each unit of metering equipment used for measuring service to customers showing date of purchase; utility's identification number; essential nameplate data; associated equipment, if any; dates of tests; results of all "as found" and "as left" tests; and locations where installed together with dates of installation and removal. A utility may keep separate records at different locations on its system for each unit of metering equipment in lieu of a history record provided that said records include all data required on a history record and that the two most recent tests records are retained. Only the most recent test record need be kept if a complete history record is maintained.
2. A test record shall be made whenever a unit of metering equipment is tested. The test record shall show the utility's identification number; nameplate data; location of the unit; equipment with which the device is associated; date of test; reason for test; register readings before and after the test; a statement as to whether the meter "creeps", and in case of creeping, the rate; a statement of "as found" and "as left" accuracies sufficiently complete to permit checking of the calculations; an indication that all required checks have been made; a statement of repairs made, if any; identification of test standard used; and name of person making the test.
3. Each utility shall file with the commission annually a summary report of all meter tests made during the year on forms to be supplied by the commission.
