(B) The customer’s connected load shall not be increased beyond the limits hereinafter stated until the customer had given written notice to the City Clerk and the additional load has been approved by the Superintendent of the Electrical Department, unless the load increases total 3 HP or less, or electrical additions total 20 amperes or less, in which case an electrical load increase will not require notification.
(C) If customer does not give proper notice of increased electrical load, the customer will be liable for any damage to the Electric System equipment resulting from the increased load. Any person who installs additional electrical load in excess of those loads requiring notification without reporting to the City Clerk and obtaining approval of the Superintendent of the Electrical Department, shall upon conviction of such failure to notify, be subject to a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100. The city may elect to refuse to furnish electrical energy to any person or corporation found guilty of failing to report an increased electric load, that requires such notification.
