California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 5 — Weights and Measures, Chapter 5 — Weighing and Measuring Devices, Section 12518
A water submeter submitted to a sealer by an owner, user, or operator for inspection and testing before its initial installation that is found to be incorrect, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 12500, shall be marked with the words “Out of Order,” in accordance with Section 12506, and shall be returned to a service agent only if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) The water submeter has no signs of intentional tampering by which to facilitate fraud.
(b) The water submeter is not placed into service in California.
Notes
Requires an incorrect water submeter submitted for pre-installation inspection and testing to be marked “Out of Order.” Allows return to a service agent only if the submeter shows no intentional fraud-facilitating tampering and is not placed into service in California, making both conditions necessary for return of the incorrect device.
