To assure safety and the optimum value for both
the customer and the municipal utility, it is essential for the customer
to consult with the utility before purchasing, constructing, operating,
or interconnecting any self-generation equipment to the system. No
self-generating equipment may be connected to the municipal utility
unless the customer notifies the municipal utility and all necessary
equipment, in the opinion of the municipal utility, is properly installed
to isolate the generating equipment from the municipal utility system.
