The Cooperative will construct a new extension of its overhead distribution system to serve a non-permanent residence under the following provisions:
Applicability
To qualify as an extension to a non-permanent residence, the location where the member is requesting service shall be a dwelling unit not qualifying as a permanent installation.
Point of Delivery
The Cooperative extends its electric facilities only to the point of delivery. The member shall install and be solely responsible for wiring of the installation and all service entrance wiring through the weather head and the meter base to the member’s main disconnect switch or service center.
Facilities Charge
The member shall be required to pay in advance as aid to construction the actual cost of all construction. Actual cost shall mean the total cost of all construction including not only the labor and materials used in constructing the extension; but also engineering, right of way acquisition and clearing, and all other costs directly attributable to the extension. The Cooperative shall estimate the actual cost in excess of the Cooperative’s obligation and the member shall pay such estimate prior to commencement of construction. After completion of construction, the Cooperative shall compare the actual cost incurred with the estimate paid by the member. If the actual cost incurred, less the Cooperative’s obligation, is greater or less than the amount estimated by $50, the Cooperative shall adjust the member’s account billing.
All amounts paid to the Cooperative for construction shall be non-refundable.
Contract Term
The Cooperative may require the member to sign an Electric Service Agreement for a term of up to 1 year.
