Facilities Supplied by Borough. The Borough will install, at its expense on the private property of a customer, and for the exclusive use of such customer, the meter and the first 100 feet of overhead service wires extending from the Borough's supply wires. All other wiring and equipment on private property of the customer shall be furnished and installed by the customer, as provided for and regulated by this chapter.

Connection of Service Wires. The Electric Department will make all service connections to the Borough's facilities.
Location.
In general, single-phase meters will be located on the outside of the building. If an outdoor location is not practical, single-phase meters may be located at another location approved by the Electric Department as near to the point of service entrance as possible. The inside location selected shall be accessible at all times to both the customer and the Borough, shall be clean, dry and free from vibration and shall comply with the requirements of Articles 500 through 517 of the National Electrical Code (1993 edition). In the case of multi-meters, each meter shall be permanently identified as to the unit(s) served by such meters.
Unless otherwise directed by the Borough's representative, the customer's wiring and metering shall be brought outside the building wall nearest the Borough's supply wires in conformity with the National Electrical Code, and in such manner as to be readily accessible so that all of the Borough's wiring and metering will be in plain view, within ninety days of notification by the Borough.
Means of Disconnect. Service switches, circuit breakers and fuses shall be furnished by the customer as provided for and regulated by this chapter, and shall be capable of disconnecting all electric current to a separate occupancy for which it is indicated. Each occupancy shall have a separate and independent means of disconnect.
Grounding. All meter cabinets, troughs and instrument transformers shall be grounded with copper wire, not smaller than No. 4, except that if the supply wires are smaller than No. 4, such smaller wire size may be used for grounding. All single-phase services shall be grounded. All three-phase four-wire services shall have the neutral wire grounded. In any event, all grounding shall conform to the provisions of the National Electrical Code.
