(A) The city, through its Electrical Department, shall furnish electric current for light and power purposes to persons whose premises abut on any supply wire of the distribution system and may furnish electric current to the other persons within or without its corporate limits, as and when, according to law, the City Council may see fit to do so. The rules, regulations, and rates for electric service, hereinafter named, in this chapter, shall be considered a part of every application hereafter made for electric service and shall be considered a part of the contract between every consumer now served by the Electrical Department. Without further formality, the making of application on the part of any applicant, or the use or consumption of electric energy by present customers, and the furnishing of electric service to the applicant or customer shall constitute a contract between applicant or customer and the city, to which both parties are bound. If customer should violate any of the provisions of the contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the City Council may hereafter adopt, the Electrical Foreperson, under the direction of the City Administrator, or his or her agent, shall cut off or disconnect the electric service from the building or place of the violation and no further connection of electric service for the building or place shall again be made save or except by order of the City Administrator or his or her agent.
(Prior Code, § 3-302)
(B) Contracts for electrical service are not transferable. Any person wishing to change from one location to another shall make a new application and sign a new contract. If any consumer shall sell, dispose, or remove from the premise where service is furnished in his or her name, or if the premise is destroyed by fire or other casualty, he or she shall at once inform the City Administrator, who shall cause the electrical service to be shut off from the premise. If the consumer should fail to give notice, he or she shall be charged for all electricity used on the premise until the City Administrator is otherwise advised of the circumstances.
