CITY OF SAN MARCOS ELECTRIC RULES AND REGULATIONS APPENDIX A - DISTRIBUTION LINE EXTENSION POLICY A. RESIDENTIAL SERVICE The City will construct an overhead primary line extension to provide service to a residential facility requiring full time service at the regular established rates and minimum monthly charges under the following conditions: PERMANENT RESIDENCE- A standard overhead line extension (single phase) up to 1200 feet will be provided for a residence occupied on a full time basis and which is constructed on a permanent foundation. Non - standard facilities and extensions in excess of 1200 feet may require the customer to pay the additional cost. (See Rule 5 below).
