N.M. Admin. Code § 17.5.410.27 - LINE EXTENSIONS
Upon a residential customer's request for a line extension a utility shall:
A. provide the
residential customer with a copy of the utility's line extension policy and
explain the content of such policy;
B. establish a reasonable time not exceeding
thirty (30) days after the residential customer has complied with all
reasonable utility requirements for the delivery to the residential customer of
the utility's estimate for the line extension;
C. complete construction of the line
extension within sixty (60) days after the residential customer signs the
utility's line extension agreement and after the utility has secured all
applicable permits, rights-of-way, materials, and labor necessary for the line
extension, and the utility has completed all other applicable contractual
obligations; a utility shall be required to exercise due diligence and good
faith in its efforts to obtain such permits, rights-of-way, materials, labor,
and contractual compliance; however, the utility shall not be required to
complete construction of the line extension within this time frame where
force majeure or hazardous conditions exist;
D. advise the residential customer that if
the residential customer is not satisfied with the line extension proposal of
the utility including cost and time of construction, an informal review of the
proposal may be provided by utility personnel located in the service area of
the residential customer and authorized to conduct such reviews; such personnel
shall be in a position to modify such proposal, where appropriate;
E. inform the residential customer in writing
of how the residential customer's options concerning the type of installation
of a line extension will affect utility charges based on present rates or rates
which are the subject of a pending case concerning rates; at a minimum
comparisons of average annual utility charges for that residential customer
shall be provided.
