It shall be the responsibility of the customer to take all reasonable and proper precautions to prevent damage to District property on the customer's premises. This shall include removal, reinstallation or bypassing of meters, meter seals, instruments, transformers, services, connections, electronics and any other equipment installed by and remaining the property of the District. A minimum of $50.00 may be charged to the customer for removing District security devices, including meter seals. In the event that District property is damaged because of the customer's negligence, the District may collect from the customer the cost of repairs or replacements. This includes any negligent or purposeful attempts to access and/or alter the District’s communication network. If repairs require that District personnel must leave other customer work in progress, the District may collect twice the cost incurred by the District to help offset the cost incurred to complete the in-progress work during overtime hours. The same responsibilities which apply to the customer under this section also apply to the customer's contractor.
