Your District, through its authorized employees, shall have access to District owned equipment on customer's premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of meter reading and for test, repair, replacement, inspection or removal of such equipment. The customer shall obtain and grant permission for the right of access and permission to trim trees as needed to maintain clearance from District distribution system lines. Customers shall keep the electrical low voltage service route and the communication service route from the District's lines to the customer's service entrance and the meter free from structures and plantings, including trees, and shall permit access for any excavation or other work needed for maintenance of District's overhead or underground facilities without payment for any damage caused by such excavation or work. If requested by the District, customer shall execute an easement in the form attached as Exhibit "A".
If a customer creates an obstruction which denies the District the aforementioned access to its equipment, the customer will be asked in writing to make the changes necessary to assure access. If the customer refuses to cooperate with the District in making these changes within a reasonable time, the District may take steps to interrupt the customer's service until such time as the situation is remedied.
