Where service to a member is being switched between the Cooperative and another electric utility, the following charges shall apply when the Cooperative is the disconnecting utility:
- A minimum charge of $94.38 (This charge covers average labor and transportation costs incurred in making the disconnect.)
- Any unpaid construction, line extension or other contract charges.
- A charge for any removal of property, plant or facilities of the Cooperative used to provide service to the member, if the member requests removal or removal is required for legal or safety reasons, or by requirement of any authority.
- A charge for distribution facilities rendered idle as a result of the disconnection and not usable on another part of the Cooperative’s system, based on the original cost of such facilities less depreciation, salvage value and contributions in aid of construction; but including the cost of removing the idled plant deemed by the Cooperative to be economically salvageable.
- Prior to disconnection, the member shall pay the Cooperative for all service up through the date of disconnection; as well as, the charges set forth in this tariff. Upon receipt of payment, the Cooperative shall give the member/consumer a paid receipt.
In accordance with the Substantive Rules of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Cooperative member is hereby advised that the connecting utility may not provide service to said member until such connecting utility has evidence from the Cooperative that the member has paid for electric service through the date of disconnection and any charges for disconnection under this tariff.
