The city may specify the voltage and type of electric service to be furnished, also the location of the meter and the point where the service connection shall be made.
(2) All the customer’s wiring and equipment must be installed and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the city; otherwise, the city may refuse to connect service to the customer or may discontinue service to same.

(B) Changes.
(1) The customer shall not employ or utilize, without the written consent of the city, any equipment, appliance or device, or permit the continuation of any condition, which tends to create any hazard or otherwise to affect adversely the city’s service to the customer or to others. When polyphase electric service is used by any customer, the customer shall control the use of service so that the load will be maintained in reasonable electrical balance between the phases at the point of delivery.
(2) The customer shall give the city reasonable notice in writing of any anticipated increase in demand exceeding 20 kilowatts or 10% of former demand, whichever is greater, and stating the approximate excess and date required. If, in the opinion of the city, the unexpired term of the agreement is sufficient to justify the additional investment required, the city will endeavor to provide additional capacity for any increase so requested by the customer within reasonable notice.
(3) The city will extend its facilities and change the point of delivery only when the investment required is warranted by the anticipated revenue and when the extension is permissible and feasible.
