§ 54.02 CONTRACTS AND TERMS.
   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 such 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 said 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 said contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the City Council may hereafter adopt, the Utilities Superintendent or his or her agent shall cut off or disconnect the electric service from the building or place of such violation, and no further connection of electric service for such building or place shall again be made, save or except by order of the Superintendent or his or her agent.
