Cal. Civ. Code § SPS 326.46
Remote outside meter system tests.
Operative Text
SPS 326.46 Remote outside meter system tests. The remote outside meter system, if used, shall be tested each time the associated meter is tested. If the total recorded consumption of the remote outside meter agrees with that of the base meter, no further testing of the remote outside meter system is required.
Wisconsin Administrative Code § SPS 326.46 governs how remote outside meter systems must be tested in connection with their associated base meters. Whenever a base meter undergoes testing, any linked remote outside meter system must be tested at the same time. If the consumption readings from the remote outside meter match those of the base meter, no additional testing of the remote outside meter system is necessary for that cycle.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § SPS 326.46, property owners or managers who use a remote outside meter system should ensure that testing of that system is scheduled and completed every time the associated base meter is tested. Compliant operators keep records demonstrating that both the remote and base meter readings were compared and that any discrepancies were addressed. When readings agree, documentation of that match supports a finding that no further remote meter testing was required at that time.

Section § SPS 326.46 establishes a standard for how remote outside meter systems must be verified, which can be relevant if a tenant believes their utility consumption is being measured inaccurately. Tenants who suspect a discrepancy between their billed usage and actual consumption may wish to ask their landlord or utility provider for records showing that the remote outside meter system was tested in accordance with this provision. Tenant-rights organizations or the relevant local utility regulatory body can be consulted to understand what records landlords or utilities are expected to maintain under § SPS 326.46.
