Williams County Auditor.
As Sealer of Weights and Measurers, the Auditor is responsible for testing the accuracy of measuring devices to "Ensure equality in the marketplace" for consumers. The following areas are tested by the weights and measures department.
- UPC labels on products to verify the price marked is the price that is charged.
- Gasoline pumps to make sure you are receiving the amount of fuel indicated
by the pump.
- Scales at groceries, meat counters, produce departments, and at registers are
also certified for accuracy.
- Orchards and produce stands scales are checked seasonally.
- Scales at schools are certified during certain sporting events.
- Doctor's offices, weight loss clinics, and nursing homes are certified upon
request.
- Commercial scales at elevators, quarries, and stock yards are also checked.
- Meters on commercial gas trucks (heating oil as well as petroleum).
- Bagged products such as feeds and mulches for weight accuracy.
If you are going into business, or you are already in business and will be using a scale, please contact our office for more information. Not all scales can be certified.
Ric Echler is the inspector of Weights and Measurers in Williams County. Should you have a question regarding the performance of a gas pump or scale in a location where you have purchased products, please contact the County Auditor's office at 636-5639, Ext. 302.
