1. Application of Schedule. Effective February 1, 2010, this rate schedule is for small general service at secondary voltage or at a higher available voltage, at the option of the customer:
| Net Monthly Rate |
|---|
| $20 | Customer service fee |
| 28.51¢ per KWH for the first | 25 KWH of the billing KW |
| 25.22¢ per KWH for the next | 50 KWH of the billing KW |
| 20.17¢ per KWH for the next | 100 KWH of the billing KW |
| 16.31¢ per KWH for | All additional KWH |
2. Minimum Charge. The minimum monthly charge is $4.14 per KW for the first three kilowatts of the billing KW, plus $4.14 per KW for all additional kilowatts of the billing KW.
3. Billing KW. The billing KW will be determined by measurement by means of a demand meter installed by the Borough when it is estimated that the demand exceeds three kilowatts. The billing KW is three kilowatts where no demand meter is installed. Where a demand meter is installed, the billing KW is the average kilowatts supplied during the fifteen-minute period of maximum use during the current billing period. For billing purposes, the billing KW shall be as recorded on the meter, but not less than three kilowatts.
4. Deposit. A deposit will be required from all rental units, as set from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council.
5. Payment. The above net rate applies when bills are paid on or before the due date specified on the bill. When not so paid, the gross rate applies, which is the above rate plus 10% of the then unpaid balance of the monthly bill.
6. Commercial service customers who rent or lease a property may elect budget billing, provided that the property owner and/or landlord permits the tenant customer to enter into a budget program agreement with the Borough and the previous balance is fully paid prior to establishing the budget. When a tenant customer elects budget billing, the Borough will require a completed landlord/property responsibility form, with required authorization from the landlord/property owner, and for each month, will bill the customer an amount approximately equal to 1/12 of the account’s estimated annual billing, with appropriate adjustments made so that the total payments for each twelve-month budget billing cycle will be equal to the customer’s actual charges under the rate. The budget program may be revoked in the event an account becomes delinquent, at which time the account reverts to a nonbudget account.
