The following fees shall be paid by each customer requiring service:
(A) Fee - standard 120/240 volt single phase 3 wire service:
Overhead tap/overhead service area No charge
Underground tap/underground service
area (including mobile home pedestal) $120*
Underground tap/overhead service area
(new service) $170*
(Existing overhead to be changed to

*Cost based on maximum cable run of 75' (as measured from property line to weather head or first pedestal and a maximum cable run of 75' from pedestal to pedestal). If additional cable is required, the customer will be charged for the additional cable at $1.50 per foot, or at actual cost, should such cost be greater.
(B) For non-standard service.
(1) Any person, firm or corporation requesting special electrical service (3 phase service or a special voltage) requiring additional line and/or addition or special transformers to supply electrical energy shall pay, prior to the time of electrical service is installed, a sum equal to 15% of the cost of additional line, transformers and labor necessary to make the necessary installation. The cost of such service shall be computed by the Superintendent of the Electrical Department and if the cost of equipment and labor exceeds $2,000 the applicant shall pay 15% of the first $2,000, plus 50% of the excess over and above $2,000. The city will consider any special circumstances or applications, should the installation costs for non-standard service merit special consideration, and the city may, at the city’s discretion, consider reduced amounts and/or special payment terms.
(2) If a customer elects and makes a request to have a non-standard service, and the feasibility of such service is approved by the Superintendent of the Electrical Department to provide such service, the customer assumes all risks incurred for such special non-standard service. These risks would include extended outages that may be due to transformer failure until the transformer is repaired or a suitable replacement can be obtained and installed.
