§ 22-115. Criteria and charges for furnishing service.

(a)

Service extension payment by customer. Where an extension of existing City facilities (other than a service drop) is required to provide electric services to a customer, the City shall be not required to make such extensions. The City may require the customer, as a condition precedent to making the extension, to advance to the City a sum of money in cash for construction costs.

(b)

Service drops generally. Service drops which are not covered in Subsection (a) above shall mean any single phase three-wire service of standard 120/240 volt service. The customer shall pay to the City the sum provided by Section 22-34 for all such new services to any new installation.

(c)

Temporary service. The supply of electrical energy to any temporary service to any entrance shall be paid for by the customer in advance of the performance of work, at the rate provided by Section 22-34.

(d)

House moving. A guaranteed deposit shall be furnished by any house mover, rigger or contractor for the moving of any building, fixture or structure over the City's streets where the contractor shall require assistance for raising or lowering utility lines. In any event, the deposit required shall be determined by the City in accordance with the estimated amount of labor and equipment required. Charges will be made at the City's regular labor and equipment cost.

(e)

Installation by customer. The customer's installation shall, in its entirety, be installed and maintained in accordance with the requirements of local ordinances pertaining thereto. The City reserves the right to inspect the customer's installation prior to rendering service, and from time to time thereafter; but the City assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the customer's installation as a result of any such inspection, and will not be responsible in any way for any defect in customer's installation, or any part thereof, or for any damage which may result from any such defect.
