Customers requiring service prior to the start of a billing cycle may receive service using Rate E1, E1U, or E3 until the next billing cycle except as provided below.
With consent of the Light and Water Office and at the request of the customer, the customer can be placed on Rate E4 between billing cycles, however for such customers the demand charge will not be prorated unless it can be determined that the customer's demand had no effect on the system demand for the billing cycle for purchased energy.

As needed to conform to billing of all customers the billing period may be adjusted and such adjustments may require two (2) different energy rates during the billing period if the period crosses between two (2) billing periods from the wholesale supplier.
e. Discounts: If the City of Carmi receives any special rate, credit, or discount from the supplier of the wholesale energy that is directly associated with a customer on Rate E4, the customer will receive ninety percent (90%) of the savings after deducting one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the cost to meet any requirement to comply with the special rate, credit, or discount.
