The presence at any time on or about the meter or meters, wires or conductors of any device whatsoever which affects the diversion of electric current without the same being measured or registered by the city, shall constitute prima facie evidence of knowledge on the part of the person, who as owner or lessee, or otherwise at the time has the use, custody or control of the room or building where such device exists, of the existence thereof and the effect thereof, and shall further constitute prima facie evidence of the intention on the part of such person to defraud, and in case a check meter installed by the city registers more current than is registered by the meter installed in the customer's premises, such condition shall constitute prima facie evidence that such unregistered current has been wrongfully diverted by such customer, and shall further constitute prima facie evidence of the intention on the part of such customer to defraud.

(c) A failure on the part of the consumer to actually receive the notice set forth in subsection (b), shall not be an excuse or justification for the failure to correct the violation nor shall it prevent the discontinuance of the electric service to such consumer.
(d) After electric service has been discontinued as provided in this section, it shall not be renewed until all bills for electric service due and owing to the city have been paid, the deposit for service required by this division has been made, and the actual cost of the discontinuance of the service not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00), has been paid; if the reconnection is made other than during normal working hours, the actual cost, without limit, shall be charged.

Application. This rate is applicable to

demand in any summer month exceeds one hundred (100) kw; or (2) at
customer's request, to any other non-residential customer.
2. Character
of Service Supplied. City will specify
and provide a standard single‑and/or three‑phase alternating
current secondary service voltage.
3. Demand:
a. Billing Demand. The monthly billing demand shall be the
maximum demand measured during the month but in no event less than one hundred
(100) kw.
b. Energy Billing Demand. Customer's billing demand shall be used to
apportion customer's kilowatt hours to the kwh per kw energy rate steps for
metered demands of one hundred (100) kw or greater. Where metered demands are less than one
hundred (100) kw, the metered demand shall be used as the billing demand for
purposes of apportioning kilowatt hours only.
c. Base Billing Demand. The Base Billing Demand shall be the lesser
of: (a) the customer's billing
demand established during the preceding May billing period, or (b) October
billing period; or (c) the maximum billing demand established during the
preceding summer billing period, but in no event less than one hundred (100)
kw.
d. Seasonal Billing Demand. The Seasonal Billing Demand shall be the
customer's winter billing demand in excess of the customer's Base Billing
Demand.
e. Base and Seasonal Energy
Apportioning. The kilowatt hours for each
winter billing period shall be apportioned to the Base and Seasonal Energy rate
steps in the same proportion as customer's Base and Seasonal billing demands.
f. Rate Limitation. The sum of the Demand and Energy Charges
shall be limited to the Rate Limitation times customer's metered kilowatt
hours, but in no event shall be less than one hundred (100) kw times the Base
Demand Charge plus the customer's metered kilowatt hours times the Energy
Charge.
g. Application of Rate Limitation to
Customer with Seasonal Demand. If a
customer is billed any kw of seasonal demand in a winter billing period, the
kwh's for that billing period shall be apportioned between base use and
seasonal use in the same proportion as base demand and seasonal demand, and a
separate rate limitation applied to base use and seasonal use.
h. Demand Meters. When normal use of an existing customer or
the estimated use of a new customer exceeds twenty‑five thousand (25,000)
kwh per month, or City has reason to believe that customer's summer demand
exceeds one hundred (100) kw regardless of his kwh use, City will install a
demand meter and measure customer's demands.
4. Cumulation
of Services. Service taken through each
meter by the same customer on the same premises under this Service
classification will be cumulated for billing purposes. Additional service, if any, supplied through
facilities installed on and after January 1, 1991, will not be cumulated or

customer.

July, August or September billing periods shall be billed during the succeeding
winter billing periods entirely on the base demand charge.
