GENERAL EXCHANGE SERVICE

E. CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES

1. General

Special charges in the form of installation charges, construction charges, and monthly charges may be applicable in addition to the usual service connection charges and monthly rates when, because of the occasional nature of the service, the lack of permanency, the unusual investment or expenses, or any other condition under which the Telephone Company is not properly protected in the proposed investment or the revenue does not reasonably compensate the Telephone Company – as for example:

(a) conditions requiring the provision of special equipment or unusual methods of plant construction, installation, or maintenance

(b) the customer’s location requires the use of costly private right of way

2. Extension of Facilities

For extensions required either within or outside the base rate area where the proposed service is temporary and not all the plant to be put in place would be of value to the Telephone Company in the general conduct of its business upon discontinuance of that service, the customer may be charged the estimated cost of construction.

3. Underground Construction

Where aerial facilities are being used to provide service to a customer’s location and the customer requests that facilities be placed underground, the change from aerial to underground will be made at an installation charge equal to the estimated cost of installing the underground facilities and removing the aerial facilities, less the immediate new recovery value of the aerial facilities replaced.

In the case of a new installation where aerial entrance would normally be employed and the customer requests underground entrance the customer shall pay the difference between the estimated costs of aerial and the underground entrance.

4. Inside Wiring

Exposed wiring is the standard method of wiring a customer’s premises.

If suitable interior conduit is provided by the customer, the Telephone Company will install its wiring and cable therein without additional charge. Where the customer desires concealed wiring cable and does not provide suitable interior conduit, the customer shall pay the difference between the cost of concealing the wiring or cable and the estimated cost which would prevail under normal wiring and cable installation methods.
