Mission Statement

The weights and measures program serves the community by safeguarding measurement accuracy and assuring confidence and integrity in the marketplace.
 
 
The Weights and Measures program provides price comparisons for the consumer and assures fairness for the merchant when products, such as groceries and gasoline, are sold by weight, measure, count or time. Both the buyer and seller are protected when Weights and Measures inspectors test store scales, checkout scanners, packages, taxi meters, gasoline pumps, etc.
