(A) A copy of rate schedules and standard terms and conditions under which service is rendered to customers will be furnished upon customer's request at the Utility Office. The Utility Office shall determine which schedule is applicable to serve customers.
(B) No Utility account may be transferred or opened without first requiring the owner of the real estate for which service is provided to sign a written "Utility Account Guarantee", which guarantees payment of all bills for Utility service, and grants a lien upon all real estate which they own if the Utility bills under that account become past due.
(C) The Service Representative is prohibited from authorizing service to a location without the signed "Assumption of Liability to Pay Utility Bill" and/or "Utility Account Guarantee" being on file with the Utility Office. This policy may only be waived by the express written approval of the Mayor of the Village of New Bremen.
(D) If a customer desires delivery of energy at more than one point, a separate guarantee shall be
required for each separate point of delivery. Service delivered at each point of delivery shall be billed separately under the applicable schedule.
(E) Rental customers wishing to open a Utility account shall sign an "Assumption of Liability to Pay Utility Bill" (agreement). The provisions of an agreement shall not relieve the landlord/customer of their responsibility to pay the bill in the event of a rental customer default.
(F) The customer (or landlord/customer), after making proper application for service, shall notify the Utility when customer desires service to be established. In no case shall the customer, landlord/customer, customer's agent, or customer's employee turn on service. Service shall be turned on, upon the date specified, by an authorized agent of the Utility. If the Utility finds itself unable to establish service on the date specified, it shall notify the customer as much in advance as possible, and a new date shall be established by mutual agreement.
