<br />CITY OF SAN MARCOS <br />RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRIC SERVICE <br /> <br />Clarification of Application of Retail Rate Schedules <br /> <br />In order to clarify the provisions of the Standard Residential <br />Rates and the Basic Small Lighting and Power Rates, with respect <br />to the applicability of these schedules to cases approaching the <br />border line of classification, the following specific interpreta- <br />tions are given: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Multiple Dwellinqs. Where premises include two or more <br />residential or dwelling units, the residential rate may <br />be applied only if separate circuits are provided with- <br />out cost to the city. A residential or dwelling unit <br />shall be defined, for the purpose of applying this in- <br />terpretation, as the space provided for the occupancy <br />of a single family, i.e., including separate living <br />quarters and kitchen. If it is not practical to pro- <br />vide for separate metering of each individual unit, the <br />entire premises will be served under the appropriate <br />Lighting and Power Rate. <br /> <br />Commercial Use Of Portions Of Dwellings. The residen- <br />tial rate is not applicable to the space in a dwelling <br />which is regularly used for commercial purposes, such <br />as an office, beauty shop, studio, tea room, or store <br />or for other gainful activities. In such cases if a <br />separate circuit is provided, at no cost to the City, <br />for the portion of the dwelling so used, the residen- <br />tial rate should be applied to the balance of the power <br />requirements and the appropriate Lighting and Power <br />Rate applied to the power requirements of the portion <br />of the dwelling used for commercial purposes. If a <br />separate circuit is 'not provided, the entire power re- <br />quirements of the premises must be billed under the <br />appropriate Lighting and Power Rate. <br /> <br />Roomina Houses. Any dwelling which is recognized as a <br />regular rooming house, or advertises as such, shall be <br />billed on the appropriate Lighting and Power Rate. <br /> <br />Boardinq Houses. All recognized boarding houses should <br />be billed under the appropriate Lighting and Power <br />Rate. An establishment which is commonly known to <br />serve, or to hold itself in readiness to serve regular <br />boarders or the transient trade or which advertises <br />such service, shall be considered a recognized boarding <br />house. <br />
