Rule No. 15
MAIN EXTENSIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS
1. Applicability
a. All extensions of distribution mains, from the utility's basic production and transmission system or existing
distribution system, to serve new customers, except for those specifically excluded below, shall be made under
the provisions of this rule unless specific authority is first obtained from the Commission to deviate therefrom.
A main extension contract shall be executed by the utility and the applicant or applicants for the main exten-
Sion before the utility commences construction work on said extensions or, if constructed by applicant or
applicants, before the facilities comprising the main extension are transferred to the utility.
b. Extensions solely for fire hydrant, private fire protection, resale, temporary, standby, or supplemental service
shall not be made under this rule.
c. The utility may, but will not be required to, make extensions under this rule in easements or rights of way
where final grades have not been established, or where street grades have not been brought to those established
by public authority. If extensions are made when grades have not been established and there is a reasonable
probability that the existing grade will be changed, the utility shall require that the applicant or applicants for
the main extension deposit, at the time of execution of the main extension agreement, the estimated net cost of
relocating, raising or lowering facilities upon establishment of final grades. Adjustment of any difference
between the amount so deposited and the actual cost of relocating, raising or lowering facilities shall be made
within ten days after the utility has ascertained such actual cost. The net deposit representing actual cost is
not subject to refund. The entire deposit related to the proposed relocation, raising or lowering shall be re-
funded when such displacements are determined by proper authority to be not required.
2. Limitation of Expansion
a. Whenever the outstanding advance contract balances reach 40 percent of total capital (defined, for the purpose
of this rule, as proprietary capital, or capital stock and surplus, plus debt and advances for construction) the
utility shall so notify the Commission within thirty days.
b. Whenever the outstanding advance contract balances plus the advance on a proposed new extension would
exceed 50 percent of total capital, as defined in Section A. 2. a. plus the advance on the proposed new extension,
the utility shall not make the proposed new extension of distribution mains without authorization of the
Commission.
c. Whenever the outstanding advance contract balances reach the above level, the utility shall so notify the
Commission within thirty days.
3. Definitions
a. A "bona fide customer", for the purposes of this rule, shall be a customer (excluding any customer formerly
served at the same location) who has given satisfactory evidence that service will be reasonably permanent to
the property which has been improved with a building of a permanent nature, and to which service has com-
menced. The provision of service to a real estate developer or builder, during the construction or development
period, shall not establish him as a bona fide customer.
b. A "real estate developer" or "builder", for the purposes of this rule, shall include any individual, association
of individuals, partnership, or corporation that divides a parcel of land into two or more portions.
c. The "adjusted construction cost", far the purposes of this rule, shall be reasonable and shall not exceed the
costs recorded in conformity with generally accepted water utility accounting practices, and as specifically
defined in the Uniform System of Accounts for Water Utilities prescribed by the Commission, of installing
facilities of adequate capacity for the service requested. If the utility, at its option, should install facilities
with a larger capacity or resulting in a greater footage of extension than required for the service requested,
the "adjusted construction cost", for the purposes of this rule, shall be determined by the application of an
adjustment factor to actual construction cost of facilities installed. This factor shall be the ratio of estimated
cost of required facilities to estimated cost of actual facilities installed.

A. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS (Continued)
4. Ownership, Design and Construction of Facilities
a. Any facilities installed hereunder shall be the sole property of the utility. In those instances in which title to
certain portions of the installation, such as fire hydrants, will be held by a political subdivision, such
facilities shall not be included as a part of the main extension under this rule.
b. The size, type, quality of materials, and their location shall be specified by the utility; and the actual con-
struction shall be done by the utility or by a constructing agency acceptable to it.
c. Where the property of an applicant is located adjacent to a right-of-way, exceeding 70 feet in width, for a street,
highway, or other public purpose, regardless of the width of the traveled way or pavement; or a freeway,
waterway, or .railroad right-of-way, the utility may elect to install a main extension on the same side thereof
as the property of the applicant, and the estimated and adjusted construction costs in such case shall be
based upon such an extension.
d. When an extension must comply with an ordinance, regulation, or specification of a public authority, the
estimated and adjusted construction costs of said extension shall be based upon the facilities required to
comply therewith.
5. Estimates, Plans and Specifications
a. Upon request by a potential applicant for a main extension, the utility shall prepare, without charge, a prelim-
inary sketch and rough estimates of the cost of installation to be advanced by said applicant.
b. Any applicant for a main extension requesting the utility to prepare detailed plans, specifications and cost
estimates shall be required to deposit with the utility an amount equal to the estimated cost of preparation of
such material. The utility shall, upon request, make available within 45 days after receipt of the deposit
referred to above, such plans, specifications and cost estimates of the proposed main extension. If the exten-
sion is to include oversizing of facilities to be done at the utility's expense, appropriate details shall be set
forth in the plans, specifications and cost estimates.
c. In the event a main extension contract with the utility is executed within 180 days after the utility furnishes
the detailed plans and specifications, the deposit shall become a part of the advance, and shall be refunded in
accordance with the terms of the main extension contract. If such contract is not so executed, the deposit to
cover the cost of preparing plans, specifications and cost estimates shall be forfeited by the applicant for the
main extension and the amount of the forfeited deposit shall be credited to the account or accounts to which
the expense of preparing said material was charged.
d. When detailed plans, specifications and cost estimates are requested, the applicant for a main extension shall
furnish a map to a suitable scale showing the street and lot layouts and, when requested by the utility, con-
tours or other indication of the relative elevation of the various parts of the area to be developed. If changes
are made subsequent to the presentation of this map by the applicant, and these changes require additional
expense in revising plans, specifications and cost estimates, this additional expense shall be borne by the
applicant, not subject to refund, and the additional expense thus recovered shall be credited to the account or
accounts to which the additional expense was charged.
6. Timing and Adjustment of Advances
a. Unless the applicant for the main extension elects to arrange for the installation of the extension himself, as
permitted by Section C.l.c., the full amount of the required advance or an acceptable surety bond must be
provided to the utility at the time of execution of the main extension agreement.
b. If the applicant fora main extension posts a surety bond in lieu of cash, such surety bond must be replaced
with cash not less than ten calendar days before construction is to commence; provided, however, that if
special facilities are required primarily for the service requested, the applicant for the extension may be
required to deposit sufficient cash to cover the cost of such special facilities before they are ordered by
the utility.

( ~J
A. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS (Continued)
An applicant for a main extension who advances funds shall be provided with a statement of actual construction
cost and adjusted construction cost showing in reasonable detail the costs incurred for material, labor, any
other direct and indirect costs, overheads, and total costs; or unit costs; or contract costs, whichever are
appropriate.
d. Said statement shall be submitted within sixty days after the actual construction costs of the installation have
been ascertained by the utility. In the event that the actual construction costs for the entire installation shall
not have been determined within 120 days after completion of construction work, a preliminary determination of
actual and adjusted construction costs shall be submitted, based upon the best available information aT That
time.
e. Any differences between The adjusted construction costs and the amount advanced shall be shown as a revision
of the amount of advance and shall be payable within thirty days of date of submission of statement.

said contract as shown by the utility's records. Such assignmenT shall apply only to those refunds which be-
come due more than thirty days after the date of receipt by the utility of the notice of assignment. The utility
shall noT be required to make any one refund payment under such contracT to more than a single assignee.
& Interpretations and Deviations
In case of disagreement or dispute regarding the application of any provision of this rule, or in circumstances
where the application of this rule appears unreasonable to either party, the utility, applicanT or applicants may
refer the matter To the Commission for determination.
:. EXTENSIONS TO SERVE INDIVIDUALS
1. Free-Footage Allowance

2. Advances
If the total length of main extension is in excess of 50 feet per service connection applied for, the applicant or
applicants for such service shall be required to advance to the utility, before construction is commenced, that
portion of the estimated reasonable cost of such extension which exceeds the estimated reasonable cost of 50

Such estimated reasonable cost shall be based upon the cost of a main not in excess of 6 inches in diameter except
where a larger main is required by the special needs of the applicant or applicants. The amount of the advance
is subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section A.6.e. of This rule.
3. Refunds
The money so advanced shall be refunded by the utility, in cash, without interest, in payments equal to the ad-
justed construction cost of 50 feet of the main extension for whi ch advance was made, for each additional service

at the same location. Refunds shall be made within 180 days after the date of first service to a bona fide customer.
No refunds shall be made after a period of ten years from the date of completion of the main extension and the
total refund shall not exceed the amount advanced.
4. Exceptions

vided in Section C.2. of this rule.
~.

advance to the utility, before construction is commenced, the estimated reasonable cost of the extension to be
actually installed, from the nearest utility facility at least equal in size or capacity to The main required to
serve both the new customers and a reasonable estimate of the potential customers who might be served
directly from the main extension without additional extension. The costs of the extension shall include neces-
sary service stubs or service pipes, fittings, gates and housing therefor, and meter boxes, but shall not include
meters. To this shall be added the cost of fire hydrants when requested by the applicant for the main extension
or required by public authority, whenever such hydrants are to become the property of the utility.
b. If special facilities consisting of items not covered by Section C.l.a. are required for The service requested
and, when such facilities to be installed will supply both the main extension and other parts of the utility's

described in Section C.l.a. above.
c. In lieu of providing the advances in accordance with Sections C. 1. a, and C.1.6., the applicant for a main ex-
tension shall be permitted, if qualified in the judgment of the utility, ro construct and install the facilities
himself, or arrange for their installation pursuant to competitive bidding procedures initiated by him and
limited to qualified bidders. The cost, including the cost of inspection and supervision by the utility, shall be
paid directly by applicant. The applicant shall provide the utility with a statement of actual construction cost
in reasonable detail. The amount to be treated as an advance subject to refund shall be the lesser of (1) the
actual cost or (2) the price quoted in the utility's detailed cost estimate. The installation shall be in accord-
ance with the plans and specifications submitted by the utility pursuant to Section A.5.6.
2. Refunds
a. The amount advanced under Sections C. 1. a., C.l.b. and C. 1. c. shall be subject to refund by the utility, in cash,

period not To exceed 20 years after the date of the contract.
b. Whenever costs of main extensions have been advanced pursuant To Sections C. 1. a. or C. 1. c., The utility shall
determine the revenue received from customers, including fire protection agencies, supplied by service pipes
connected directly to The extension for which the cost was advanced. The refund shall be 22%of the revenue
so received.
c. Whenever costs of special facilities have been advanced pursuant to Sections C.l.b. or C.l.c., the amount so
advanced shall be divided by the number of lots to be served by the special facilities. This advance per lot
shall be refunded for each IoT on which one or more bona fide customers are served by Those facilities.
d. With respect to a contract entered into on and after the effective date of this rule, if, at any time during the
20-year refund period specified above, 80% of the bona fide customers for which the extension or special
facilities were designed are being served therefrom, the utility shall immediately notify the contract holder of
that fact, and at that time shall become obligated to pay, in cash, any balance which may remain unrefunded at
the end of said 20-year period. Such balance shall be refunded in five equal annual installments, payable
beginning 21 years after the date of the contract.
e. Where a contract has been entered into under a former main extension rule, and where 80%of the bona fide
customers for which The extension or special facilities were designed are being served therefrom, the utility
may negotiate and enter into a new and substitute contract, identical in all respects with the original contract,
-4-

including the original termination date, except that said substitute contract shall include the following provi-
Sion: "Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, any unrefunded balance remaining at the termination date
of this contract shall be paid in five equal annual installments beginning one year after said termination date."
The advice letter provisions of Section X of General Order No. 96-A shall apply to all such replacement
contracts.
3. Termination of Main Extension Contracts
a. Any contract with refunds based upon percentage of revenues and entered into under Section C. of This rule, or

is not in excess of the estimated revenue refund mulTiplied by the termination factor in the following table, the
terms are otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties or their assignees and Section C.3.6. and Section C.3.c.
hereof are complied with. The estimated revenue refund is the amount thaT would otherwise be refunded, at the
current level of refunds, over the remainder of The twenty-year contract period, or shorter period that would be
required To extinguish the total refund obligation. It shall be determined by mulTiplying 22 percent of the

customers at the proposed termination date, times the number of years or fractions thereof to the end of the
twenty-year contract period or shorter period That would be required to refund the remaining contract balance.
