Any extension built to serve a single consumer (regardless of the number of meters) shall be deemed abandoned when service is discontinued and request for reconnection is not made within the following twelve months. In such circumstances, at the Cooperative's sole option, the Cooperative may consider any interest of the consumer in the line extension plant and equipment, if any, forfeited. The consumer's interest in the plant in service may be retained in exchange for payment of the monthly facilities charge that would otherwise be due on the consumer's account or accounts if service were reconnected. The condition of facilities, size and right-of-way clearances may also incur cost to be paid 100% by consumer.
