Geauga County Auditor |

|
The County Auditor is the Sealer of Weights and Measures for Geauga County, thus
protecting the general public from the possible loss that may occur from faulty measuring
devices such as scales and pumps. He is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that
all State Laws relating to weights and measures are strictly enforced. One method is to
perform "spot checks" on pre-packaged items to test the weight of the contents.

Geauga County Auditor Frank J. Gliha says the price of gas is not the only shock you can
receive at the pump. According to sources at the American Petroleum Institute and the
Petroleum Equipment Institute a static electrical flash fire at the pumps might be the
other shock. Weather conditions at this time of year in Geauga County, with
cool dry air, are prime climate conditions for static build up. About 70% of static fires occur during
the winter months, November through March.
