Bill > S1765

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts General Laws concerning water meter testing fees, specifically Section 39I of Chapter 40. It adds the word "billing" after "rate for such quarter or" in the first sentence, likely to clarify billing cycles related to water usage. More significantly, it removes a previous limit of three dollars for the expense required for each examination and test of a water meter, and it replaces the old standard of "two percent of accuracy" with the more specific "American Water Works Association (AWWA) accuracy standards," which are widely recognized industry guidelines for water meter performance.
