TYPE OF SERVICE Secondary or primary service available to commercial and industrial customers. Primary voltage service is available to any customer with a minimum demand of 250 KW. Primary service is rendered at one point on the customer's premises at a nominal voltage of 13,200 volts. The City will supply single-phase service (or three-phase ser- vice if available at the point of delivery) at sixty (60) cycles and at any standard voltages available from the City's distribution system through one standard transformation. Where service of the type desired by the customer is not already available at the point of service, special contract arrangements between the City and the customer may be required.

DETERMINATION OF ON -PEAK DEMAND The on -peak demand shall be determined by the KW demand sup- plied during the fifteen (15) minute period of maximum use each month during on -peak hours as recorded by the City's demand meter and adjusted for power factor, but not less than one hundred per- cent (100%) of the maximum on -peak demand similarly determined dur- ing the months of June through September in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the current month. If the customer is new or does not have a history of use for any month during the period June through September, the on -peak demand charge shall begin when the customer establishes a history for any month during the June through September period. The on -peak demand will be billed every month once an on -peak demand history is established. DETERMINATION OF SYSTEM DEMAND The system demand shall be determined by the maximum KW demand supplied during the fifteen (15) minute period of maximum use each month during off-peak hours as recorded by the City's demand meter and adjusted for power factor. The system demand will be billed every month. POWER FACTOR PENALTY The City reserves the right to make tests to determine the power factor of the customer's installation served either by measurement during periods of maximum demand or by measurement of the average power factor for the monthly billing period. If the power factor is below ninety percent, the demand for billing purposes will be determined by multiplying the uncorrected KW billing demand by 90% and dividing by the determined power factor. DEFINITION OF ON -PEAK HOURS The City's on -peak hours, for the purpose of this rate sched- ule, are designated as being from 2:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. each Monday through Friday, for the months of June through September.
