31.2 Contribution of Aid of Construction

Charges for electric services in this section shall be calculated on an actual cost basis.

For electric service extensions, the estimated cost of constructing the service, less any engineering fees paid in advance, shall be paid by the applicant(s) requesting the electric service before the start of construction.

For line relocations and/or change in type of service, payment of the estimated cost must be made before the construction commences less any engineering fees paid in advance.

Upon the completion of the service provided, the balance of any remaining amount due, or refund of any excess payment, must be paid in full within 30 days of the invoice date.

Where relocation is not requested or required solely for the applicant or members preference, convenience or benefit, but rather mandated by factors outside the applicant or members reasonable control, and it would otherwise appear impractical or inequitable, as determined by the Cooperative in its sole discretion, the Cooperative may waive all or part of construction costs and engineering fees, and/or allow the applicant or member to pay by installments.
