Electric service may be refused to any applicant who has not complied with pertinent national, state and local construction, building and safety codes, regulations and ordinances relating to the installation and maintenance of electrical wiring and equipment. Upon request, the applicant or customer shall furnish to the municipal light and power utility a certificate of approval from the authority having jurisdiction to secure compliance with the building and safety codes, regulations and ordinances prior to connection being made or electric service being furnished to the applicant or customer.

Installation of electric welders or motors larger than five horsepower must be coordinated with the municipal light and power utility prior to installation.

C.

A properly identified employee of the municipal light and power utility shall have access to the premises of a customer at all reasonable times for the purpose of reading meters, testing or inspecting the customer's load and equipment or installing, repairing, removing or exchanging equipment belonging to the utility.
