Chapter 13 PUBLIC UTILITIES SYSTEMS*
Section 13-55 Rate schedules.
The following schedules are applicable to the service furnished by the electric system. Rates and charges are on file at the City Clerk's office and the administrative offices of the utilities department:
a. Applicability: For all domestic uses of a residential customer in a separately metered single-family dwelling unit. A separately metered pump may be billed on this rate if it supplies domestic water to an individual residence. Largest motor shall not exceed seven and one-half (7 1/2) hp. b. Type of service: Power normally supplied under this rate will be 115/230 volts, single phase, sixty (60) hertz. Three-phase service may be furnished, where available, if the largest motor is not less than five (5) hp. Motor starting currents must conform to City requirements. c. Variable Cost Adjustment : All bills shall be increased or decreased in an amount per kwh equal to the fuel cost per kwh of bulk power as determined by MEAG. d. Multiple service: Where it is impractical to separately meter each unit, two (2) or more dwelling units may be served through a single meter. Where this is done each kwh block in the monthly rate will be multiplied by the number of separate dwelling units so served. The minimum monthly bill under this option shall be the minimum monthly charge times the number of dwelling units served. e. Un-metered service: Where the installation of metering equipment is impractical or installed equipment fails, monthly kwh may be estimated by the City and billed at the applicable monthly rate.
a. Availability: To property owners where the low voltage distribution lines of the City are within five hundred (500) feet. Service may be made available to tenants in accordance with the terms of the contract period b. Applicability: Applicable to security lighting on customer property by means of high pressure sodium vapor luminaries supported by short brackets mounted on wood poles in the City's existing distribution system or extension from this system, or on poles owned by the customer, conforming to standard specifications and mutually satisfactory to both the customer and the City. In all cases the luminair, bracket and control equipment shall be installed, owned and maintained by the City. Where the use of poles other than wood is desired by the customer, he shall install, own and maintain such poles and the City shall install, own and maintain the overhead conductors, the brackets and lighting equipment. Where the use of underground conductors is desired by the customer, he shall install, own and maintain the underground conductors and the risers up the poles. Security lighting service will be provided only at locations which are accessible to City trucks for servicing purposes. Original locations of lighting fixtures shall be by mutual agreement and any relocation requested by owner after installation is in operation shall be made at owner's expense. c. Maintenance: Existing mercury vapor luminairs will only be maintained by replacement or bulbs or photo-electric cells. Any maintenance requirement beyond bulb and photo-electric cell replacement will result in the removal of the mercury vapor fixture and the installation of a comparable (lumen output) high pressure sodium vapor fixture. Maintenance will be performed as soon as can reasonably be done after notification of theCity by the customer that service has been interrupted. Maintenance will be done only during regular working hours. d. Contract Period: Three (3) years. e. Cancellation of Contract: Contract may be canceled by either party on sixty (60) days' written notice; however, should the customer cancel the contract during the first thirty-six (36) months, he shall pay to the City to cover the unamortized cost of installation and removal for each month remaining in the original thirty-six-month period.
