The Borough reserves the right to determine, by test at a time of normal load or by permanently installed instruments, the power factor of the consumer's load at the point where the electric energy is metered, and if the average monthly power factor is less than 85%, the Borough may, upon 60 days' notice to the consumer, compute that consumer's bill for electric service by multiplying the KWH metered by the following constants.

The power factor as determined by the Borough at a time of normal load by temporarily installed instruments shall be applied to all future billing computation or until such time as the consumer may install corrective apparatus and so inform the Borough, after which a recheck will be made of the power factor registered at normal load; provided, however, that the Borough will not be obliged to make these tests more than once per year. Tests will be made more often upon application by the consumer when accompanied by a fee to be established from time to time by resolution of Borough Council.
