Such domestic service shall not be discontinued for nonpayment for any customer complying with an amortization agree- ment entered into with the Company, provided the customer also keeps current his account for electric service as charges accrue in each subsequent billing period.

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 nonpayment of bills for other classes of service. 4. Under no circumstances may service be discontinued for nonpayment 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 filed rules. S. Service will not be discontinued by reason of delinquency in pa:rment for electric service on any Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or at any time during which the business offices of the Company are not open to the public. C. Unsafe Equipment. The Company 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 Company 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 Company's service facilities, until it shall have been put in a safe condition or the violation remedied. The Company 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.
