RENDERING OF BILLS
1. Billing Period. Bills for electric service will be rendered bimonthly, monthly or as otherwise
provided in the tariff schedules.
2. Metered Service.
a. Bills for metered service will be based on meter registrations. Meters will be read as
required for the preparation of regular bills, opening bills and closing bills.
b. If, because of unusual conditions or for reasons beyond its control, the Utility is unable to
read the meter on the scheduled reading date, the Utility may bill the customer/those
deriving the benefit of service for estimated consumption during the billing period, and
make any necessary corrections when a reading is obtained. Estimated consumption for
this purpose will be calculated considering the customer's prior usage, the Utility's
experience with other customers of the same class in that area, and the general
characteristics of the customer's operations. Adjustments for any underestimation or
overestimation of a customer's consumption will be reflected on the first regularly
scheduled bill rendered and based on an actual reading following any periods when
estimation was required. When a service start date can be reliably estimated, the
undercharge can be computed back to that date, exclusive of Rule #17. Access to the
meter, sufficient to permit its being read shall be provided by the customer as a
prerequisite to the Utility making any adjustment of consumption billed on an estimated
bases.
3. Umnetered Service.
A fiat rate may be applied upon request (in writing) where the applicant for service has a fixed
connected load to be operated over a fixed number of hours during a billing period, and where the
following conditions are met:
a. Provision has been made to prevent any additional consumption on the service.
b. The point of interconnection of the service is approved by the Utility.
c. Such service may be supplied under any appropriate rate schedule at the Utility's
operating convenience and all conditions of the rate schedule shall apply, including the
Power Cost Adjustment.
Pro rata Computation.
All bills for electric service rendered will be computed in accordance with the applicable thirty-day
rate schedule, but the size of the energy blocks and the amount of the customer, service, demand or
minimum charge, specified therein, will be prorated on the basis of the ratio of the number of days
service has been rendered to the number of days in an average month of thirty days.
READiNGS OF SEPARATE METERS NOT COMBINED
For the purpose of billing, each meter upon the customer's premises will be considered separately, and the
readings of two or more meters will not be combined, except as follows:
1. Where combinations of meter readings are specifically provided for in the tariff schedules.
2. Where the Utility's operating convenience requires the use of more than one meter.
