As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
CUSTOMER, COMMERCIAL
Includes each separate business enterprise, occupation or
institution receiving service through a single meter, occupying for
its exclusive use any unit or units of space as an entire building,
entire floor, suite of rooms or a single room and using energy for
the illumination of the space and for such incidental use as the schedule
of rates applicable to the particular installation may permit.
CUSTOMER, POWER
A separate business enterprise or institution occupying for
its exclusive use any unit or units or space as an entire building,
entire floor, suite of rooms or a single room and using energy for
driving motors larger than 3 hp, or for purposes other than lighting,
heating and cooking.
CUSTOMER, RESIDENTIAL
Includes each separate house, apartment, flat or other living
quarters occupied by a person or persons constituting a distinct household
and using energy for general illumination and operating household
appliances. Residence lighting use may be extended to include the
use of energy for lighting pergolas, private garages and private barns
or similar structures which are adjacent to, connected with and used
exclusively by the residence being served.
CUSTOMER, RURAL
A purchaser of electric service who can be adequately served
from one transformer of not more than 10 kilovolt-ampere capacity

located outside of the limits of the Village at such a distance that
he cannot be adequately served from the secondary lines of the local
distribution system. To qualify as one rural customer and receive
service through one meter, an institution occupying more than one
building shall provide the wiring to connect each separate building
or buildings. Farmers located within urban rate areas may choose either
the urban (residential or commercial) rate or rural rate on an annual
basis.
All energy sold by the Utility is to be used by the customer
for the purpose designated or implied in the rate schedule applied.
Energy sold shall not be resold or redistributed unless otherwise
agreed upon in the service contract.
