CITY OF SAN MARCOS ELECTRIC RULES AND REGULATIONS levels, tight voltage regulation, minimum line noise and other special requirements shall be the responsibility of the customer. The customer may be required to share in a portion of the estimated construction cost for extending a service where such service is not normally provided, or for additional meter or transformer installations to provide separate electric service such as to x -ray machines. 2. INTERMITTENT LOADS- The city reserves the right to require that the customer furnish and install any suitable or special equipment necessary to reasonably limit the adverse effects created by customer -owned equipment such as process furnaces, arc welders, resistance welders, and large motors. 3. EXCESS CONSTRUCTION COST DETERMINATION - In a situation where a customer requires electrical facilities in excess of that normally furnished by the City, the customer may be required to pay the city for the excess construction cost. The City, at its sale option, may reduce such payment when the estimated annual revenues (derived from base rates, exclusive of the fuel) anticipated from the proposed facility generate the required margins to cover the total cost of constructing the requested facilities. G. SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENTS, MOBILE HOME PARKS, AND MOBILE HOME SUBDIVISIONS The city will extend overhead service into a new subdivision development only after the subdivision is platted and filed for record in the county in which it is located, and if located in an incorporated city, filed and approved by the appropriate city officials. The plat shall have adequate easements dedicated for the construction of electric utility lines, and such easement shall allow access for the construction of electric lines to all lots and allowing room for anchors, guys, and other appurtenances. At the request of the developer, the City may, at its option, construct facilities within a platted subdivision provided the developer advances the total cost of such facilities. Otherwise the City will extend primary lines to serve individual customers as provided for under Appendix A. Section A. H. TEMPORARY SERVICES Extensions required to serve customers on a temporary basis will be installed only if the applicant for temporary services pays the City, in advance, the standard cost of installing and removing all facilities expressly required for such temporary service. In situations where a temporary service is required for construction purposes and such temporary line extension results in a permanent meter upon completion of the construction, the City will extend such temporary service which contributes to a permanent electric service, at its option, under the appropriate rule for permanent extensions. 20
