Weights & Measures

Weights & Measures

The City of Racine Public Health Department acts as an agent for the Weights and Measures Program of the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP). While State-employed inspectors conduct all program inspections, The Department of Customer Services handles billing for the program.

The Weights and Measures Program protects consumers by monitoring the accuracy of gas station pumps, grocery store scales and packages (those sold by weight), checkout scanners, and timers (found in laundromats, taxis, etc.).

Business Owners

If your establishment is inspected through the Weights and Measures Program, the invoice is issued by, and paid directly to the Department of Customer Service. Call 262-636-9171 if there are questions about the invoice.

The amount of the invoice you will receive depends on the number of pumps, scales, scanners, and/or timers in use at your business.

Complaints

For gas pumps not dispensing the proper amount, grocery store scales weighing inaccurately, retail checkout scanners not scanning correctly, or other related issues, contact DATCP.

Online Complaint Form

You can find more information about Weights and Measures on the DATCP website.
