This section shall apply to the distribution facilities
required to service either a group of customers in multi-tenancy premises
or a single customer where, in either case, the Utility finds that it is necessary
to install portions of such facilities on the premises being served. Such
customer or property owner, when requested by the Utility, shall make provision
on his property for the installation of Utility-owned facilities required
for his service or services in accordance with the following:
(1)
Utility facilities shall consist of those which, in the
opinion of the Utility, are necessary to furnish adequate service at the Utility-owned
junction boxes on or adjacent to the enclosure of the Utility substation or
at customer-owned service entrance facilities. The Utility will not supply
wiring in or on a building beyond the junction box or on a building beyond
the service entrance facilities. The Utility will design such installations
and will install facilities which, in its opinion, are most economical or
feasible to the Utility, under the conditions met.
(2)
At each installation, the Utility shall have the option
of extending its primary conductors to two or more substations conveniently
located with respect to the customers to be served or to furnish service to
all customers from the substation.
(3)
Where the Utility's installation is located in a property
owner's building, the applicable provisions of the Wisconsin State Electrical
Code shall be observed.
(4)
A customer or property owner shall furnish, own and maintain
the necessary indoor conduits, indoor or outdoor enclosures, vaults, building
structural supports and accessories as specified by the Utility.
B.
If a customer or property owner requests any changes
in the plan proposed by the Utility, the customer shall pay the Utility the
estimated excess cost of the substituted installation. The Utility may require
that these costs be paid in advance of construction or may, at the Utility's
option, offer customers an installment payment plan.
A.
The customer shall be responsible for all damage to the
Utility's equipment and for all loss resulting from interference or tampering
therewith caused by the customer or the customer's permittees, including compensation
for consumed energy not recorded upon the meter (see Chapter PSC 113, Wis.
Adm. Code).
B.
Meters, service entrance switches and service entrance
outlets are sealed by the Utility and such seals shall not be broken or tampered
with in any manner without the consent of the Utility except in cases of emergency.
The Utility should be notified as soon as possible after a seal has been broken.
