The schedules of rates apply when electricity is furnished in any one month to one customer at one location for a class of service through one meter. The schedules of rates are based on delivery and billing service to the ultimate user for retail service and do not permit resale or distribution.
B. 
For all extensions of new or increased service, each unit must be separately metered before service will be rendered.
C. 
Where a customer occupies more than one unit of space, each unit will be metered separately and a separate bill will be computed and rendered based on the readings of each individual meter unless a customer makes arrangements with a Utility to provide the approved circuits and loops by which the different units can be connected and all energy metered through one meter.
D. 
Where a commercial and one or more residential units are combined so as to obtain electric service through one meter, the commercial rate will be applied.

A. 
Where emergency systems and buildings are so wired as to require a separate meter, the energy so metered will be billed as a separate customer. Emergency systems are systems supplying power and illumination essential to safety and life and property where such systems or circuits are legally required by municipal, state, federal or other codes or by any governmental agency having jurisdiction.
B. 
Emergency illumination shall include only the required exit lights and other lights specified as necessary to provide sufficient illumination.
