of the following conditions, subject, however,
to the requirements and procedures set forth
and adopted in subdivision 4 of this subsection
and Chapter 13.10 of this code:
* * *
3. Service may be discontinued for non-
payment of past due service accounts, for non-
payment of any required deposit, or if service
to the user's equipment is detrimental, in the
opinion of the department, to service to
other users served by the department. If a
user is receiving service at more than one
location, service at any or all locations
may be discontinued for nonpayment of any
past due service account if, after transfer
of the past due account pursuant to Section
13.08.050 A, user fails to pay an account
in full within the period prescribed in
Section 13.08.060.

13.08.050 A.
* * *
3. Where a user desires service at more
than one point of delivery, excepting where
loads cannot otherwise be satisfactorily supplied
by the department, separate applications shall
be made for each point of delivery. Meter
readings under the same rates shall not be com-
bined for billing purposes. However, unpaid
services at more than one location, regardless
of type of service, may be transferred to any
of user's accounts for purposes of billing
and collection.
Section 3. Section 13.08.060 A of the Municipal Code
of the Town of Estes Park, Colorado, is amended to read
as follows:
13.08.060 A. Metering of Service: The
consumer will provide at his expense and
in connection with his wiring, suitable
mounting space or enclosure for the in-
stallation of metering equipment in accord-
ance with town ordinances relating to
electrical installations, inspections,
licensing, permits and regulations. The
department will own and maintain metering
equipment suitable and necessary for
measuring the electric energy supplied.
Service supplied under each electric rate
schedule shall be separately measured and
billed for, except that any bills trans-
ferred to user's account pursuant to
Section 13.08.050 because of nonpayment
for services at other locations may be
included in any of user's accounts for purposes
of billing and collection.
With the exception of service to adjoin-
ing properties owned and controlled by the
user as a single commercial or business
enterprise, service to the same consumer at
different locations will necessitate separate
applications for metering and billing. Where
electric service is furnished under more than
one rate schedule to a user at one location,
such service shall be delivered at the same
point of delivery.

Service will be supplied and metered at
the secondary voltages listed under "Service --

vided otherwise in the rules and regulations
pertaining to individual rate schedules.
Meters shall be located outdoors on all
new installations or where changes are made.
Meters shall be of the socket type using sockets
furnished by the department or located in
enclosures approved by the department.

Title 13 and all ordinances or parts of ordinances of the
Municipal Code of the Town of Estes Park relative to the
Light and Power Department shall be and hereby are designated
to remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified,
confirmed and approved.
Section 5. The Board of Trustees of the Town of
Estes Park, Colorado, herewith finds, determines and desig-
nates that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, because
electric service affects the public peace, health and safety;
and the clarification of electric rules authorized herein is
necessary to maintain reliable electric service and preserve
the financial and operating integrity of the municipal
electric system; and whereas, in the opinion of the Board of
Trustees, an emergency exists, this Ordinance shall take
effect and be in force as of September 27, 1983.
