Sec.16-11-236. Calculating submetered party's cost

(a) Every submetering customer shall calculate. average cost, per kilowatthour, for each bill received from the electric company, and in turn, shall charge each submetered party the same average cost for each kilowatthour used by the submetered party. When the meter reading dates of the submetering customer differ from those of the submetered party, the average cost of each of the submetering customer's billing periods will be applied to the submetered party, in proportion to the number of days that the submetered party used energy in those periods.

(b) Every submetering customer shall indicate, on written bills to a submetered party, the present and immediately preceding submeter reading dates, the present and immediately preceding submeter readings, the kilowatthours consumed by the submetered party, the submetering customer's average cost for all relevent billing periods, the charge to the submetered party, and any other information that will permit the submetered party to verify the charges assessed.

(c) Submetering customers shall take appropriate steps to insure that the service delivered to a submetered party is delivered at a voltage that is in conformity with the most recent standard for service voltage issued by the American National Standards Institute ("ANSI"), or within one percent of that received by the submetering customer.

(d) Every submetering customer shall, upon request of a submetered party, render a statement of past electric company meter readings, total electric company charges applicable to the submetering customer, submeter readings and charges applicable to the submetered party, for a period of at least twelve months.

(e) Every submetering customer shall read the submeters each month, at regularly scheduled intervals. The meter reading date should not be advanced or postponed more than five days from the normal reading date and to the extent practical, shall coincide with the meter reading of the electric company.

(f) In addition to the monthly readings, a submetering customer shall read the submeter for a submetered party, at the time of initiation of service and termination of service to the submetered party. Where a final bill is to be rendered to a submetered party upon the termination of service the submetering customer shall utilize the last current average kWh cost available for that portion of the bill for which there is no current bill available to the submetering customer.
