The electric department shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to inspect any installation before electricity is introduced or at any time, and reserves the right to reject any wiring or appliances not in accordance with the electric department's standards; but such inspection or failure to inspect or reject shall not render the electric department liable or responsible for any loss or damage resulting from defects in the installation, wiring, or appliances, or from accidents which may occur upon the customer's premises. An inspection shall be required of old wiring if there is reason to question its safe condition. If same is found to be unsafe, service may be discontinued until such time as said wiring will pass inspection.
