No person except a duly authorized representative of the Borough
shall make any connection or disconnection, either temporary or permanent,
between the service load of the customer and service wires of the
Borough. No person except a Borough representative may set, change,
remove, or interfere with or make any connections to the Borough's
meter or other property or any wiring between the Borough meter and
the service wires of the Borough. The customer shall not remove, modify
or replace the meter seal.
Customers found tampering or interfering with the Borough's
meter will pay the amount which the Borough may estimate is due for
service used but not registered on the meter. The customer will also
pay for the cost of any repairs, replacements, plus any other changes
in the customer's installation.
The Borough, upon reasonable notice, will remove and reinstall
the meter to accommodate construction modification at no charge to
the customer.
When a customer accepts service from the Borough, it is agreed
and service is provided upon condition that the authorized agents
or representatives of the Borough, having proper identification, shall
have access at all reasonable times to the premises of the customer
for the purposes of accessing the Borough's equipment. This access
will allow for reading Borough meters, connecting and disconnecting
service, operating, testing, inspecting, repairing, removing, and
replacing any or all of the Borough's apparatus used in connection
with the supply of electricity. The access may also be for the purpose
of trimming, cutting, or removing tree branches or other vegetation
which, in the Borough's judgment, threatens to interfere with the
safe and efficient operation of its facilities.
