RENDERING AND PAYMENT OF BILLS
A, Rendering of Bills.
1. Billing Period. Bills for electric service will be l-endered bimonthly, monthly, weekl)-, or as otherwise
provided in tariff schedules.
Bills may be rendered bimonthly, at the option of the Company, except bills based on measured monthly
maximum demand. Bimonthly bills will be computed by doubling the size of the monthly energy blocks
and the monthly amount of the customer, service, or minimum charge.
Bills may be rendered weekly at the option of the Company.
2. Metered Service. Bills for metered service will be based on meter registrations. Meters will be read as
required for the preparation of regular bills, opening bills, and closing bills. It may not be possible always
to read meters on the same day of the month, and should a bimonthly billing period con tain less than 58
days or more than 66 days, or shonld a monthly billing period contain less than 27 clays or more than 33
days, a pro rata computation in the bill will be made.
3. Pro Rata Computation. Except as provided below, all bills for electric service rendered for periods of
less than 58 days or more than 66 days on a bimonthly billing period, or for periods of less than 27 days or
more than 33 days on a monthly billing period will be computed in accordance with the applicable schedule,
but the size of the energy blocks, and the amount of the customer, service, dcmand, or minimum charge,
specified therein, will be prorated on the basis of the ratio of the number of days in the period to the number
of days in an average bimonthly or monthly period, which for this purpose shall be taken as 60 days and
30 days, or as otherwise provided in tariff schedules.
\\Then the total period of service is less than 34 days, no proration will be made, and no bill for such a
service period shall be less than the specified monthly customer, service, demand, or minimum charge,
except, when temporary service is furnished and the customer has paid the estimated cost of installing and
removing the service facilities, proration will be made.
B, Reading of Separate Meters Not Combined, For the purpose of billing, each meter upon the customer's
premi,es wi1l be considered separately, and the readings of two or more meters will not be combined except as
follows:
I. \Vhere combinations of meter readings are specifically provided for in the rate schedule.
2. Where the Company's operating convenience requires the llse of more than one meter.
C. Payment of Bills, All bills are due and payable on presentation, and payment should be made at the Company's
office or to an authorized representative or agent.
D, Returned Check Charge, The Company may require payrnent of a $2.75 returned check charge for any check
returned from the bank unpaid.

DISCONTINUANCE AND RESTORATION OF SERVICE
{Continued}
G. Noncompliance, Except as othcrwise specifically provided in this Rule No. 11, the Company may discontinue
serYice to a customer for noncompliance with tariff schedules if, after writtcn notice of at least 5 days, he has not
complied with the notice. The Company may dispense with the giving of such noticc in the evcnt of a dangerous
condition, thus rcndering the immediate discontinuance of scrdce to the premiscs impcrative.
H. Customer's Request for Service Discontinuance. \Vhen a cllstomer dcsires to terminate his responsibility for
service, he shall give the Company not less than two days' notice of his intention and state the date on which he

LINE EXTENSIONS
(
(Continuad)
B, Overhead Extensions to Individual Applicants for Service. (Continued)
2. Conditions, (Continued)
d. Conversion of Existing Single-Phase Lines to Three-Phase Lines. Line extensions will be either
single phase or three phase as determined by the Company in accordance with the tariff schedules.
\Vhere it is necessary to convert an existing line from single phase to three phase in order to
furnish three-phase service to an applicant, the estimated cost of converting the existing line to
three phase will be determined by the Company. Such estimated cost will be divided by the advance
per foot specified in Section B.3.a.(1) hereof in order to determine an equivalent Icngth of line
extension. Applicant's allowance, as dctermined under Section B.1. hereof shall then be applied
against the length of equivalent line and any unused free extension allowance will be applied to the
line extension, if any, required to serve the applicant. Advances made under this section shall
be subject to refund as specified in Section B.3.b. for such additional permanent three-phase
installations as may be supplied by means of the line which has been converted to three-phase line.
e. Transmission Underbuilds. \Vhere all or a portion of the distribution line extension is to be
constructed on existing transmission poles of the Company, the estimated cost of the extension on
such existing poles will be determined by the Company. Such estimated cost will be divided by the
advance per foot specified in Section B.3.a.(I) hereof in order to determine an equivalent length
of line extension, which will be treated in the same manner as any other extension under Section
B. hereof.
f. For the purpose of determining the allowable free length of line for domestic service, each single-
family dwelling is considered a "customer"; an electric range customer is one who uses an electric
range or equivalent electric appliance exclusively for all regular cooking; a water heater customer
is one who uses an electric water heater exclusively for all regular water heating.
g. For the application of Section B.l., connected loads will be determined to the nearest 1/10 hp
or 1110 kW.
3. Extensions Beyond the Free Length.
a. Advances.
(1) Overhead line extensions of greater length than the free extension will be made provided
the applicant for service advances to the Company $4.50 for each foot of line in exccss of the
free length. Such extensions will be owned, operated and maintained by thc Company.
(2) \Vhen morc than one applicant is to be served from the same extension, the total free length
will be the sum of the free allowances for each applicant as computed under Section B. hereof.
The total advance required from the group of applicants will be apportioned among the
members of the group in such manner as they may mutually agree upon.
b. Method of Refund. The amount advanced in accordance with Section B.3.a, hereof will be subject
to refund as follows:
(1) Refunds of an advance will be predicated on connection of separately metered permanent
load and/or customers; will be made without interest; and will be made within 90 days after
date of first service to such load and/or customer, except that refunds may be cumulated to
$25 minimum or the total refundable balance if less than $25 before each refunding.
(2) For such load and/ or customer the Company will refund an amount based on the footage that
the allowable free length under Section B. exceeds the length of line (if any) required to
serve, multiplied by the unit cost per foot applicable at the time the extension was originally
constructed.
(3) Refunds also will be made for the appliances and load specified in Section B.l. permanently
installed in excess of the load contracted for originally when added within one year of first
taking service. Such refunds will be made within ninety days aftcr the Company receivcs notice
of the addition by the customer,
(4) Where there are a series of extensions, on any of which an advance is still refundable, and
the Company makes succeeding free extensions with excess allowances or where additional load
or customers connect to succeeding extensions, refunds will be made to repay in turn each
of such advances which remain refundable beginning with the first in series from the original
point of supply.
(5) When two or more parties make a joint advance on the same extension, refundable amounts
will be distributed to these parties in the same proportion as their individual advances bear to
the total joint advance.
