If a customer requests relocation of his or her overhead service to an existing structure, the District may remove and reconnect its service drop without cost to the customer provided no additional pole or other equipment is required. Should the service drop as relocated exceed 100 feet, or pole or other equipment be required, the customer shall pay the District for such additional cost.
If a customer requests his delivery point be moved to a new location and the District does not have distribution facilities of sufficient capacity available within the normal 100 foot service distance, the customer shall reimburse the District for the up and down costs of relocating transformers and/or other facilities required.
If a customer desires a pole or poles moved, including fixtures, transformers and/or other facilities located thereon, for any reason (e.g., existing pole in way of a proposed new driveway), the District will do so provided the line as relocated is feasible from an engineering point of view, and further provided that the customer pay in advance an amount sufficient to reimburse the District for such costs.
The District will replace existing overhead electrical facilities with an underground installation provided the customer pays the District in advance an amount equal to the estimated loss due to early retirement of the overhead plant plus the estimated excess cost of underground as compared to overhead facilities. Loss due to early retirement shall be equal to the depreciated book value of removed overhead plant plus cost of removal less salvage.
Your District may consider any increased revenue from changes related to relocation of poles or equipment in determining costs to be paid by the customer.
Before relocation of any poles or equipment, the customer will procure the necessary signatures on easement forms prepared by the District and will furnish such easements to the District. In the event that conditions not defined herein occur, then the principles and policies as outlined herein and in the Extension Policy shall be applied.
