5. DEFINITIONS:

5.1
Applicant:

Any potential Customer who applies for service from the Company and
either has no previous service from the Company or has not had service with the
Company within the most recent sixty days.

5.2
Customer:

Any individual, partnership, corporation, association, governmental
agency, political subdivision, municipality or other entity who has applied for,
been accepted, and is currently (1) receiving service, or (2) assuming
responsibility for payment of service provided to another or others.

If the person receiving service is not the same person as the person
assuming responsibility for payment of service, the latter is the customer for
purposes of obtaining service, cancelling service, receiving refunds, etc.
Additionally, a person who moves within the Company's service territory and
requests that service be terminated at the customers previous location and
service be initiated at a new location within sixty days is considered an existing
Customer and not an applicant.

5.3
Premises:

Each building, structure, dwelling or residence of the Customer. If the
Customer uses several buildings or structures in the operation of a single
integrated commercial, industrial, or institutional enterprise, the Company, on
request of the Customer, shall consider all such buildings or structures that are in
proximity to each other to be the premises, even though intervening ownerships or
public thoroughfares exist. In such instances, the Customer shall own and be
responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of all electric facilities
on the Customer's side of the point of delivery to all structures constituting such
premises including the responsibility for obtaining the rights-of-way, permits,
governmental licenses or other approvals. Should the Company find that undue
hardship could result from such a Customer owning electric facilities on the
Customer's side of the point of delivery, the Company may, pursuant to a rental
arrangement, provide, own, and maintain such facilities which will be comprised of
only regular inventory items of the Company. If it becomes necessary for the
Company to abandon any of its electric facilities due to several buildings or
structures becoming the premises, the Customer may be required to pay for the
investment in such facilities less net salvage.

5.4 Basis of Rates:

The Company's rates are based upon, and are applicable to, the
furnishing of electric service to a Customer at a single point of delivery on his
premises, through a single meter installation, at a single voltage and phase
classification unless otherwise specifically provided in the rate schedule or
contract.


5.5 Electric Service - Energy - Demand:

Electric service is the availability of electric power (demand) and energy at
the point of delivery in the form and for the purpose specified in the service
agreement, irrespective of whether said power and energy is actually utilized by
the Customer. Electric energy delivered will be measured in kilowatt hours (Kwh).
"Demand" is the maximum rate measured in kilowatts (Kw) registered over a 15-
minute period, except as otherwise provided, at which electric energy is taken
during a month.


5.6 Point of Delivery:


The "point of delivery" shall be the location, designated by the Company,
on the Customer's premises, where the "Company's Service Conductors" and the
"Customer's Service Entrance" conductors are connected at a common point in
such manner to permit the use of a Company single meter installation. Service
supplied to the same Customer at other points of delivery, or premises, or at a
different voltage or phase classification shall be separately metered and billed as
a separate rate application. The Company will not add, totalize, telemeter, or
otherwise combine the meter readings for separate and distinct premises for
measuring electric service or for the application of a rate schedule or schedules.

6.
APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT FOR SERVICE:

Each prospective Customer desiring electric service may be required to complete
the Company's standard form of application for service or other form of agreement before
service is supplied by the Company.


An application for service shall be deemed to be a notice that the applicant desires
service from the Company as a Customer and represents his agreement to comply with
the Company's Rules and Regulations on file with the Commission and in effect at the
time service is furnished. In the absence of a signed application or agreement for service,
the delivery of electric service and the taking thereof by the Customer shall be deemed
