(Prior Code, § 52.013) (Ord. 72-012, passed 12-5-1972)
No person shall secure electric energy or current by the use of some device where such electric energy or current, or some part thereof, is not measured through a village meter. If the village discovers any such device, it shall immediately disconnect services. Reconnection of the premises served by the bypass meter shall be made only upon the customer making restitution for electricity illegally diverted and the payment of a $750 reconnection fee in addition to any tap fees required.
The Electric and Fire Codes of the state shall be adhered to at all times. No connection shall be granted unless the provisions of these codes are observed. Extension of electric services from one established unit to another is hereby prohibited without approval of the Board of Trustees. All dwellings, trailers and mobile homes for which an electrical connection is desired must be serviced through a separate meter and charged for at the applicable rate stated in this chapter.
(Prior Code, § 52.015) (Ord. 72-012, passed 12-5-1972)
The village will endeavor to maintain adequate and continuous electric service to its customers, but does not guarantee that the supply of energy will, at all times, be constant; and the village shall not be liable to the customer for any damages resulting from temporary cessation of service occasioned by fire, explosion, flood, strike, insurrection, mob violence, governmental interference, breakdown or injury to machinery or distributing lines, or other accidents or causes not reasonably within its control.
