When two or more rates are available for certain classes of service the choice of such rates rests with the customer. The Company will at any time, upon request, advise any customer as to the rate best suited to existing or anticipated service requirements, as defined by the customer. The Company does not assume responsibility for the selection of such rate or the continuance of the lowest annual cost under the rate selected. A customer, having selected a rate, may not change to another rate within a 12-month period unless there is a substantial change in the character or conditions of the service. In the case of a new service, customers will be given a reasonable opportunity to determine their service requirements before selecting their preferred rate.
Meter Reading and Billing
The meters of General Service customers are normally read every other month but these accounts are billed monthly. In the month when the meters are not read, the customers’ bills are estimated based on an average of their previous energy consumption.
