(A) The city’s electrical energy service will be supplied to each transient building defined in city code directly by the city. Service to each tenant will be separately metered and billed under the city’s approval rate schedule in the name of the individual tenant whenever possible or in the name of the facility owner(s) or proprietor(s) where circumstances make it impractical to bill the tenants directly. Notwithstanding, the city will supply electric energy through a single point of delivery to approved locations under the rates set forth in the city’s approved rate schedules.
(B) (1) Should the owner(s) or proprietor(s) of transient buildings currently receive single point of delivery service under the city’s approved rate schedule, the owner or proprietor will sub-meter each tenant for electrical service rendered under the applicable residential rate schedule of the city. Copies of the city’s residential rate schedules will be furnished to the owner(s) or proprietor(s) of each facility who has a single point of delivery service. The owner(s) or proprietor(s) shall post in several conspicuous places around the facilities copies of the city’s residential rate schedule with a statement that the charge for electric service for each unit or space will be billed in accordance with the appropriate residential service rate.
(2) The owner(s) or proprietor(s) shall not meter or sell electric energy to any tenant under any other rate or system of charges. Evidence of any sale or attempt to sell electric energy by owners or proprietor(s) on any other rate or system of charge except as provided herein shall give the city the right to discontinue service upon five days’ written notice. Miscellaneous loads such as general lighting of the area, laundry facilities, washroom, recreational facilities and the like, available only to facility tenants will be considered residential usage and served under the applicable schedule. Loads for commercial purposes such as stores, restaurants, service stations and other distinct and separate commercial establishments will be separately metered and served under applicable schedules.
(C) Developers of transient building projects desiring single point of delivery service shall furnish and install all required material(s) from the property line to the meter base and be responsible for the care and maintenance of them, except the city will install and own all meters and sub-meters and will be responsible for their care and maintenance and periodic testing.
