Or. Admin. R. 860-021-0045 - Installation of Electric Service
(1) For the
connection of its distribution system to the customer's premises, an electric
company shall, with the exceptions provided under its extension rules, furnish
service connections to the customer's service entrance.
(2) The electric company shall furnish, own,
operate, maintain, and replace the service connections with the exceptions as
may be listed in these rules or its tariff for line extensions.
(3) The service entrance on a customer's
premises shall be so located as to make the meter and service easily accessible
from the electric company's distribution lines and convenient for the
installation, operation, and maintenance of the company's meters and
equipment.
(4) The electric company
will not be required to install or maintain more than one service connection
directly from its distribution lines to the premises of any customer. Each
customer may be required to install and maintain, at their own expense, all
wiring and equipment needed to be installed on their premises to enable the
company to furnish and meter, at a single point on the customer's premises, all
service to be used by the customer. If conditions make it advisable for the
company to use a single connection from its distribution line to furnish
service to two or more customers on the same or different premises, the service
connection shall be of adequate capacity for the purpose, and the service
furnished to each customer shall be metered and billed separately.
