(A) Normally the town will supply and meter, at one delivery point, electricity of the characteristics desired by the customer at the delivery point.
(B) The town will make application for the permits and acquire the easements necessary to build its supply facilities for the property occupied by the applicant, or customer, and the applicant, or customer, will apply for, obtain, and deliver to the town all other permits, or certificates, necessary to give the town the right to connect its conductors to the applicant’s, or customer’s, wiring, and access for all other proper purposes, including an easement from the landowner for the town’s facilities. The town shall not be required to supply electricity until a reasonable time has elapsed after the town has obtained, or received, all necessary permits, certificates, and easements.
(C) Should any change or changes in the service connection furnished to the customer by the town be made necessary by any requirement of public authority, the entire cost of such changes on the customer’s side of the delivery point shall be borne by the customer.
(D) Whenever a customer requests the town to supply electricity to a single premises, as described in subsection (D)(1) below, in a manner which requires equipment and facilities in excess of those which the town would normally provide, and the town finds it practicable, such excess equipment and facilities may be provided under the following conditions:
(1) Electricity will be supplied only to a single premises consisting of contiguous property not divided by any dedicated public street, road, highway, or alley, or by property not owned, or leased, by the customer;
(2) The facilities supplied shall be of a kind, and type, of transmission or distribution line, or substation equipment normally used by, or acceptable to, the town, and shall be installed in a place and manner satisfactory to the town. All equipment furnished, and installed, by the town shall be, and remain, the property of the town. When excess facilities are provided to supply electricity at more than one delivery point, the facilities interconnecting the delivery points shall be located on the customer’s premises;
(3) The customer agrees to pay the town a one-time excess facilities charge equal to the estimated new installed cost of all facilities provided by the town, in addition to those the town would normally provide to supply electricity to the customer at one delivery point. The excess facilities charge will be in addition to the charge for electricity in accordance with the applicable rate schedule;
(4) Payment of the excess facilities charge may be made in installments over such period of time, as may be negotiated between the customer and the Town Manager; provided, that payment in full shall be made in not more than 60 months; unpaid charges shall bear interest at the legal rate; and the Town Council shall approve the agreement. Unpaid excess facilities charges shall be a debt of the applicant;
(5) Whenever a customer requests the town to furnish an alternate source of supply that the town would not normally furnish, the facilities charge for the alternative supply facilities shall be calculated as in subsection (D)(3) or (D)(4) above. When the facilities used to provide alternate services to a customer are also used to serve other customers, the cost of such facilities shall be included in the calculation of the excess facilities charge only in the proportion that the capacity reserved for alternate service to the customer bears to the operating capacity of such facilities;
(6) All electricity will normally be metered at the voltage delivered to the customer; however, the town reserves the right, where it desires for its own purposes, to meter the electricity on the town’s side of the transformer, or transformers, and to adjust for losses. Irrespective of how the town meters electricity, the same rates and fees shall apply to each customer within a specified class of service; and
(7) The town shall not be required to make such installations of equipment and facilities in addition to those normally provided until the customer has signed such agreements, and fulfilled such other conditions as may be required by the town.
