ARTICLE III. METER INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION The Flow Meter and any related facilities required for properly measuring the quantity of wastewater delivered to the City's system will be installed at the Michael Angelo's cost. Any replacement of the Flow Meter must be approved by the City prior to installation. Michael Angelo's, at its expense will operate and maintain the Flow Meter. Michael Angelo's will calibrate the Flow Meter annually, or more frequently at the City's request. Michael Angelo's will provide the City with a copy of the calibration report within ten (10) days of Michael Angelo's receipt of same. If the City requests calibration of the Flow Meter more frequently than once every 12 months and, upon calibration, the Flow Meter proves to be accurate, then the cost of the calibration will be borne by the City. If the Flow Meter registers within three percent (3%) accuracy, it will be deemed to be accurate. If the Flow Meter tests to be inaccurate by more than three percent (3%), all testing and calibration costs will be borne by Michael Angelo's, the Flow Meter will be recalibrated or replaced, and a billing adjustment will be made based on the degree of the meter's inaccuracy, as determined by the test. If the Parties can reasonably estimate the time at which the Flow Meter became inaccurate, the City will make a billing adjustment based on that time period. If the Parties cannot reasonably estimate the time at which the Flow Meter became inaccurate, then the City will make a billing adjustment to no more than the previous six months' billings. If the Flow Meter is out of service or under repair so that the amount of wastewater discharged cannot be ascertained or computed from the readings, the wastewater delivered during the period the Flow Meter was out of service or repair will be estimated and billed by the City based on the winter average method until flow accuracy is restored. Michael Angelo's will read the Flow Meter on a monthly basis and will keep accurate records of all measurements of wastewater passing through the Flow Meter. Such records will be open to the City for inspection or copying at all times during regular business hours.
