Weights & Measures
Thomas B. Maynard, Sealer of Weights & Measures
The mission of the Weights & Measures Section is to provide “Equity in the Marketplace”. We attempt to provide a level field of competition for merchants to conduct their business and seek to guarantee no monetary injury to buyer or seller in commercial transactions.
To achieve these goals, our personnel:
Test the accuracy of scales, gas pumps, taxi meters, linear measures, etc.
Examine pre-packaged commodities for adequate fill and proper labeling.
Check scanning systems to ensure that charges recorded by cash registers coincide with posted prices.
Investigate consumer inquiries of suspect transactions.
