Each prospective customer desiring electrical service shall submit an application for service upon a form provided by the city. From and after July 1, 1981, any application for utility services made by the tenant of leased or rented residential premises shall be accompanied by a utility services deposit as provided in RMC § 3.26.010; provided, however, that said utility services deposit for electrical services shall not be required for those individuals who are residents of premises managed or owned by the Richland Housing Authority, nor is it required for those residential tenants who have qualified for a waiver of the utility deposit under RMC § 3.26.020, exemption from deposit. For commercial or industrial service, a special individually written contract may be entered into by the customer and the city. The applicant must give the department not less than 24 hours' notice of the date on which he wishes electrical service to him to begin. Connection of service on the date requested is contingent upon the facilities available for service.
