04 N.C. Admin. Code 11 R08-25 - RATE SCHEDULE, RULES AND REGULATIONS
(a) Copies
of all schedules of rates for service, forms of contracts, charges for service
connections and extensions of circuits, and of all rules and regulations
covering the relations of consumer and utility, shall be filed by each utility
in the office of the Commission. Copies of such rates, rules and regulations
shall be furnished consumers or prospective consumers upon request.
(b) Consumers applying for more than one
class of service on the same premises shall so arrange their wiring that each
class of service can be metered separately (unless utility has schedules on
file covering service to a combination of classes on one meter), and consumers
purchasing any particular class of service shall confine the use of current
supplied thereunder to the purposes set forth in the rate scheduled for such
class. Separate meters will be required for each building on the same premises
except outhouses and for each separate class of service in the same building
except when a commercial lighting consumer occupies the same building in part
for residential purposes the utility may supply both the commercial and
residential lighting through one meter at the commercial lighting rate, or on
rural lines at the rural rate.
(c)
Consumers desiring service in excess of 25 HP may be required to enter into
term contracts with the utility supplying service, for the period established
in the schedule of rates filed with the Commission. Failure to enter into
contract for the period specified in the rate schedule will entitle the utility
to impose a surcharge of five percent on all bills rendered to such consumers.
The utility shall not be required to supply service for a period of less than
one year except under rate schedules designed expressly for short-term service.
In case of initial contracts for service where the investment required of the
utility is large, the Commission may require contracts of sufficiently long
term to justify the investment, regardless of the provisions of the rate
schedule filed for such service.
