Common use of CHANGES TO METER LOCATIONS Clause in Contracts

CHANGES TO METER LOCATIONS. If a consumer requests that the Cooperative change the meter or service line location on the consumer's premises or moves a structure to a new location requiring a change in the service line location, the consumer must pay the Cooperative as a nonrefundable contribution the costs the Cooperative incurs in relocating the meter or service line. Before the Cooperative commences to make the requested change, the Cooperative will provide the consumer with an estimate of the costs involved, including a 10% contingency fee. If the actual costs of changing the meter or service line location are less than the estimated costs, the Cooperative will make a refund to the consumer of the difference. If actual costs exceed the estimated costs, the Cooperative will require the consumer to reimburse the Cooperative for additional costs which occurred because of additional construction work requested or caused by the consumer following the initial estimate; except for these additional consumer-caused costs, the Cooperative will bear as a cost of doing business other actual costs in excess of the initial written estimate.
