X. Point of Delivery

Unless otherwise specified in the Service Agreement, the point of delivery of service shall be on the outside walls of the Member’s building at a point nearest the lines of the Cooperative. The Cooperative’s rate schedules contemplate that all connections between the Cooperative’s lines and the point of delivery will be aerial (overhead) wire by the shortest and most direct route. If for any reason the Member desires underground connections or other overhead wire arrangements, the cost of which is greater than that of such direct overhead wire, then such connections will be furnished, installed, and maintained by the Member. If the Member requests the Cooperative to install underground connections, or other overhead wire arrangements, or desires a routing other than the most direct route, the Member shall reimburse the Cooperative for all direct costs plus normal overhead expenses associated with such connections, arrangements, or routing. The point of delivery will be that point at which such underground or special connection attaches to the lines of the Cooperative.
