Prior to the adoption of 2000 (13-55) on 05/08/2000, Section 13-55 read as follows. The following schedules are applicable to the service furnished by the electric system and rates and charges are on file at the city clerk's office and the administrative offices of the water and light department: (1) Electric residential service. 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. Character 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. Power cost adjustment. All electric bills shall be increased or decreased in an amount per kwh equal to the difference between the current month's total bulk power cost and the base total bulk power cost of 41.17 mills. Current total bulk power cost for Thomasville shall be the MEAG determined bulk cost for Thomasville, on the city's current MEAG bill. 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. (2) Security lighting. 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 (i) wood poles in the city's existing distribution system or extension from this system, or (ii) 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. RATES (per lamp per month) Lamp Size Description All Night Service Mercury Vapor Unit Cost per Month 175 watt Open Fixture 7600 6.50 400 watt Enclosed Fixture 13.00 19,000 Lumen High Pressure Sodium Vapor 100 watt Enclosed Fixture 8,550 Lumen 6.50 250 watt Enclosed Fixture 11.00 25,000 Lumen 400 watt Enclosed Fixture 13.00 45,000 Lumen Special Flood Light 15.00 Where it is necessary for the city to provide poles for the sole purpose of security lighting service, a monthly charge of one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) shall be made for each such pole. 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 the city by the customer that service has been interrupted. Maintenance will be done only during regular working hours. Contract Period: Three (3) years. 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, a sum equal to one dollar twenty-five cents ($1.25) per luminaire, per month for each month remaining in the original thirty-six-month period. Tenants wishing to contract for this service may be required to make a deposit of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per lamp. Such deposit, if required, will be returned on request at the end of the original thirty-six-month contract period. (3) Electric general service. a. Applicability.
