RULE NO. 10
DISCONTINUANCE AND RESTORATION OF SERVICE
A. Past Due Bills. When bills are rendered monthly, they will be
considered past due if not paid within 30 days after date of
presentation.
B. Nonpayment of Bills.
1. When a bill for electric service has become past due and a
5 -day discontinuance of service notice for nonpayment has
been issued, service may be discontinued if bill is not paid
within the time required by such notice.
2. A customer's service may be discontinued for nonpayment of
a bill for service previously rendered him at any location
served by the City provided such bill is not paid within
5 days after presentation of a notice that service will be
discontinued for nonpayment of such bill. However, domestic
service will not be discontinued because of nonpayment of bills
for other classes of service.
3. If a customer is receiving more than one service, any or all
services may be discontinued when any service, regardless
of location, is discontinued for nonpayment. However,
domestic service will not be discontinued because of non-
payment of bills for other classes of service.
4. Under no circumstances may service be discontinued for non-
payment of a bill to correct previously billed incorrect
charges for a period in excess of the preceding three months,
unless such incorrect charges have resulted from the customer
not abiding by the effective rules.
C. Unsafe Equipment. The City may refuse or discontinue service to
a customer if any part of his wiring or other equipment, or the
use thereof, shall be determined by the City to be unsafe or in
violation of applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of
public authorities, or if any condition existing upon the customer's
premises shall be thus determined to endanger the City's service
facilities, until it shall have been put in a safe condition or
the violation remedied.
The City does not assume any responsibility of inspecting or
repairing the customer's wiring or other equipment or any part
thereof and assumes no liability therefor.
D. Service Detrimental to Other Customers. The City will not provide
service to utilizing equipment, the operation of which will be
detrimental to the service of the City or its other customers, and
will discontinue electric service to any customer who shall
continue to operate such equipment after having been given notice
by the City to cease so doing.
E. Fraud. The City may refuse or discontinue service if the acts of
the customer or the conditions upon his premises are such as to
indicate to it an intent to defraud the City.
F. Failure to Establish or Re-establish Credit. If, for an applicant's
convenience, the City should provide service before credit is
established or should continue service to a customer when credit has
EXHIBIT A
not been re-established in accordance with Rule No. 5, and he fails
to establish or re-establish his credit as provided by a written
notice of not less than 5 days, the City may discontinue service.
G. Noncompliance. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Rule No. 10, the City may discontinue service to a customer for
noncompliance with tariff schedules if, after written notice of
at least 5 days, he has not complied with the notice. The City
may dispense with the giving of such notice in the event of a
dangerous condition, thus rendering the immediate discontinuance
of service to the premises imperative.
H. Customer's Request for Service Discontinuance. When a customer
desires to terminate his responsibility for service, he shall give
the City not less than two days' notice of his intention and state
the date on which he wishes the termination to become effective.
A customer may be held responsible for all service furnished at
the premises until two days after receipt of such notice by the
City or until the date of termination specified in the notice,
whichever date is later.
I. Restoration -Reconnection Charge. The City may require payment of
a reconnection charge of $2.50 before restoring service that has
been discontinued for nonpayment of bills or for failure other-
wise to comply with tariff schedules. No service will be
reconnected on an overtime basis.
