The town’s authorized agents shall have unassisted access to the customer’s sites at all reasonable hours to install, inspect, read, repair or remove its meters or to install, operate or maintain other town property, or to inspect and determine the connected electrical load. If, after three months (not necessarily consecutive) of good-faith efforts by the town to deal with the customer, the town, in its opinion, does not have unassisted access to the meter, the town may terminate service. Seven calendar days’ advance written notice will be given prior to terminating service for failure to provide unassisted access. If service is terminated as a result of failure to provide unassisted access, town verification of unassisted access may be required before service is restored. In addition to or in lieu of termination of service, the town may install a specialized meter that allows unassisted access. If the specialized meter is installed, the customer will be billed and must pay the cost of the specialized meter.
