3.25.060 Inaccessible water meter.
(a) WSSC may issue an estimated bill in accordance with WSSC 3.25.050 where a water meter cannot be read because WSSC cannot gain access to it.

(1) For inside meters only, a card may be left at the property prior to issuance of the estimated bill requesting that the customer read the meter and report the reading by either:
(i) Contacting WSSC; or
(ii) Completing and returning the card to WSSC.
(2) If WSSC leaves a card requesting a reading and no meter reading is received by WSSC within 10 days, WSSC shall issue an estimated bill.
(c) For inside and outside meters, if WSSC is required to issue a second estimated bill due to meter inaccessibility, WSSC may notify the customer that water service will be terminated unless:
(1) A reading is provided; or
(2) WSSC is allowed to access the meter.
(d) Where a water meter is inaccessible due to weather conditions, WSSC may issue an estimated bill. (Res. 2019-2220)
