The city shall furnish electric current for light, heating, cooking, power and other purposes to persons within its service area whose premises abut on any supply wire of the electric distribution system of the city, and may furnish electric current to such other persons within or without its corporate limits as and when, according to law, and on such reasonable terms as, the city may see fit to do so. The rules, regulations and rates for electric service set out in this chapter shall be deemed and considered a part of every application hereafter made for electric service to the city and shall be considered a part of the contract with every customer now served by the city. Without further formality, the making of application on the part of any applicant for the use or consumption of electrical energy by present consumers thereof and the furnishing of electric service to the applicant or customer by the city shall constitute a contract between the applicant or customer and the city, to which contract both parties are bound. If the customer shall violate any of the provisions of the contract or any reasonable rules and regulations that the city may hereafter adopt, the Utilities Manager, or his or her agent, shall cut off or disconnect the electric service from the building or place of the violation, and no further connection for electric service to the building or place shall again be made, except by order of the Utilities Manager or his or her agent.
