The utility's rates are predicated upon the supply of service being rendered separately for each premises and for the ultimate usage in or on the premises. The combining of service through one meter, of two or more separate classifications, or of two or more premises, or of two or more separate living quarters of the same premises will not be permitted except as specifically provided for under these rules and regulations, or supplements thereto, which are filed by the utility and approved by the Public Service Commission of Indiana. An outlying or adjacent building of the customer, if located on the same premises, may be served from the supply to the main building.
PREMISES, as herein used, shall mean the main residence or living quarters for the use of a single-family or main building of a commercial customer, and shall include the outlying or adjacent buildings used by the same, provided the use of service in the outlying buildings is supplemental and similar to the service used in the main residence or building.

(A) Bills shall be due and payable at the office of the utility on the first business day of each month. If paid by the fifteenth day of the month, the net shall be the amount to be paid.

(B) When the fifteenth day of the month falls on Sunday or on any legal holiday, the first business day thereafter shall be considered as the last day to pay the net bill.

Whenever a customer desires discontinuance of service, he shall notify the utility at its local office of this desire and of the date on which service is to be discontinued, sufficiently in advance of the date to provide a reasonable time for the utility to obtain a final meter-reading. This section shall not apply to any case where a customer has entered into a contract with the utility to take service from the utility for a definite period of time specified or provided in the contract.
('75 Code, § 6.19)
When any check, draft, or money order given by or for a customer to any of the city's utilities or its Frankfort Municipal Utility Office in payment for utility service or other charge is returned to the utility or the office by the drawer's bank because of the drawer's insufficient funds in such bank account or because such drawer has no such open account at such bank, then the customer shall be charged an additional service fee of $25, or 5% of the amount of the returned check, whichever greater, for each time the check is so returned by the bank.
