Every person or persons desiring a supply of electricity must make written application therefor to the City Clerk who shall then forward the application to the Electric Commissioner. Electricity may not be supplied to any house or commercial site except upon the written order of the Electric Commissioner. On new construction, the type of service, overhead or underground, shall be at the discretion of the Electric Commissioner with either installation dependent upon the customer’s wishes, safety factors, convenience, location, appearance, costs, and expected maintenance costs. The Electric Commissioner may defer any decision on type of installation to the Mayor and City Council. On replacement of existing primary lines, the type of installation shall be made by the Mayor and City Council.
