Section 1 - Classification of Service

The following terms and conditions where not inconsistent therewith are a part of all rates:

1-A RESIDENTIAL SERVICE is defined as the supply of electric service to each separate house, individual apartment, flat or living quarters occupied by a person or persons constituting a distinct household and using energy for general illumination and/or operating household appliances. Private residences taking service under residence service rate shall include private garages, stables and other outbuildings connected therewith or adjacent thereto if not used for commercial purposes. Whenever in any private residence or individual apartment electricity is used for commercial as well as domestic purposes, then only in case the electricity used for commercial purposes is less than 20% of total use, will the residence service rate be available for all electricity consumed.

Where two or more dwelling units, each having kitchen facilities are served through a single meter and with single billing, the minimum charge for the initial block and the number of kilowatt hours, in each block will be multiplied by the number of units so served, whether occupied or not.

The rate for Residence Service also applies to a farm used only for raising grain, garden, stock, dairy, poultry and like products and not used for processing, preparing or distributing products of others, provided Customer or his responsible agent resides on the farm and service for farm purposes is through a single meter and a service entrance not exceeding 200 amperes single phase capacity for the combined domestic and farm use requirements. (Service capacity restriction is effective August 7, 1985.) Additional dwelling units on farm are metered separately or supplied under terms which provide that initial and other energy blocks are multiplied by the number of family units served. In instances where a farm maintains an enterprise separate and at a point remote from his residence requiring a separate service entrance all kilowatt hours used will be billed under the applicable commercial or power rate.

1-B GENERAL SERVICE is defined as the supply of electric service with an aggregate billing demand of less than 25 KW to offices, commercial and/or industrial establishments, institutions and any other installations, outside the scope of the Residence Service Classification.
