(a) Permanent. Where the customer’s facilities are such that the utility has reasonable assurance that the premises will take electric service permanently and continuously and where unusually large expenditures by the utility are not required to service the premises, the utility will, at its expense, provide the facilities necessary to serve the customer.

Where the utility cannot be assured that the customer to be served will be reasonably permanent or where unusual expenditures are necessary to supply service because of the location, size, or character of the applicant’s or customer’s installation, facilities will be constructed only when applicant or customer makes adequate contribution toward the cost of such facilities, or makes other satisfactory arrangements which would be sufficient to warrant the utility’s undertaking the investment and expense involved.

(b) Temporary. Where service is to be used for temporary purposes only, the applicant will be required to pay the cost of the connection and removal of equipment necessary for service. In such cases, an advance payment sufficient to cover all such costs may be required.

(c) Seasonal. The utility will provide electric service to consumer premises that are utilized on a seasonal basis as provided in the applicable rate schedule for permanent services.

(d) Standby. The utility will furnish electric service to consumer premises for standby and emergency service as provided in the applicable rate schedules for permanent services. Where standby service is provided, the applicant will be required to pay the cost of the connection and removal of equipment necessary for service. In such cases, an advance payment sufficient to cover all such costs may be required.

(e) Interruptible. The utility will furnish nonfirm electrical energy, which service may be interrupted or terminated at the utility’s discretion, as provided in the applicable rate schedules. [Ord. 23-04 § 2 (Att.), 2023. Code 1979 EU § 3.0. Formerly 13.05.030.]
