(a) Availability. Available to any consumer where Village’s (hereinafter called “Utility”) standard outdoor lighting unit can be installed on Utility’s existing pole without requiring any extension or addition to Utility’s existing secondary or primary distribution facilities. Where additional facilities are required, the consumer shall pay in advance the total installation cost for such additional distribution facilities (poles, wires and appurtenances) as are required. In all cases the lighting fixture itself, including lamp, will be installed, owned, operated and maintained by Utility. This service is available only where there is reasonable assurance that the service to be furnished will be permanent, and Utility reserves the right to furnish the lighting service covered by this section where, in Utility’s opinion, the installation will not be of permanent character.
(b) Application for Service. All applications shall be on a twelve (12) month service basis. Where the premises are occupied by a tenant, Utility reserves the right to require the application for service to be made by the property owner with bills to be sent to the attention of the tenant. However, the property owner shall be responsible for the payment of all bills.
(c) Character of Service. The lighting unit shall be high pressure sodium or equivalent luminaire, photo-electric or otherwise controlled so as to provide substantially dusk to dawn year round lighting service of approximately 4,000 hours operation per year.

Fixture | Watts | kWh per month | Monthly Rate |

Area HPS | 150 | 60 | $8.50 |
(e) Power Supply Cost Adjustment. The monthly base rates set forth in this section are subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 929.06. Said Power Supply Cost Adjustment shall be applied to the monthly kWh (including losses).
(f) Minimum Charge. This lighting service is furnished only on a permanent, continuous twelve (12) month year around basis. The annual Minimum Charge per lamp is payable monthly and disconnection of service will not avoid applicable annual charge per lamp.
(g) Advance Payment of Annual Charge. When determined by Utility that consumer’s regular service is seasonal or non-permanent in character, Utility reserves the right to require twelve (12) months advance payment before service is established and thereafter to require similar twelve (12) months of service.
(h) Payment and Billings. The monthly charge per lamp will be set forth as a separate bill and is payable in the same manner and subject to the same “Gross” and “Net” billing as specified for the metered electric service. If not paid as specified, this electric service shall be subject to disconnection as provided by Utility’s general rules and regulations.
