SERVICE CHARGES:

An account service charge of $10.00 for electrical service and communication service will be made to help offset the costs of processing applications for service with the following listed exceptions:

1. When a Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction is required
   
   
2. When an account name is changed to a spouse, former spouse, or to an estate and such change is effective on a regular billing date
   
   
3. When a temporary service charge is made
   
   
4. When an owner or agent assumes temporary responsibility for service that may be used while the premise is vacant
   
   
5. When an account has been disconnected for nonpayment and has been reconnected subject to a special service charge for collection
   

If a service connection is requested at a time other than regular working hours of the District, an additional service charge of $150.00 may be made.

When a service call is necessary to collect an account, a special service charge of not less than $25.00 nor more than the actual cost of labor, transportation, and overhead may be made

When an owner or agent executes a "leave alive" agreement with the District and further requests notification when the account name changes or is disconnected for nonpayment, a special service charge of $5.00 will be applied to the account of the owner or agent each time notification is sent.

A service charge of $20.00 will be made for any customer check returned to the District for nonsufficient funds.  The amount will be added to the customer's account and collected under the normal collection procedures.

In the event the installation of initial service to a customer or the maintenance of service to a customer requires payment of a fee to any public agency with jurisdiction, which fee is directly attributable to a particular customer or group of customers, that fee or an equitable portion thereof may be billed to the customer.  The bill must be paid prior to the District providing the necessary service.
