The inspector must also verify the site's compliance with the customer's design and provide a quotation for service and metering fees. Section 3 of the form, Meter Replacement/Relocation/Disconnection, is used to document the replacement or relocation of meters and other equipment. The section requires the customer to provide information about the new meter, including its type, make, model, and accuracy class. The section also requires the installation supervisor/manager to verify the site's compliance with the inspection results and provide a detailed list of consumable/installation material used.
