The location of the service connection, which includes the meter and meter assembly, will be approved by the Company, taking into consideration convenience and unimpeded access for meter reading and maintenance of the Company’s facilities. Under normal, frost-free conditions, the Company will install a meter and service line to the Company’s preferred meter location for the charges and fees set out in the Company’s tariff. The Customer understands that requesting a service connection or service line routing that differs from the Company’s preferred location may result in additional charges to the customer as detailed in the Company’s tariff. For example, in the case of a service line less than two inches in diameter, the Customer will be assessed a service line excess footage charge in addition to the basic service line installation fee for the length of service line that is in excess of 100 feet, or for the additional length of the service line installed to accommodate the Customer’s preferred meter location, whichever is greater.

The Customer understands that the service line and the service connection will remain the property of the Company, regardless of any contribution made by the Customer, and the Company has the right of access to such Company-owned facilities at all reasonable times, including the right of ingress to and egress from the Customer’s property. After any installation, repair or removal, the Company will exercise care to return the Customer’s premises to a reasonable approximation of the conditions in which they were found immediately prior to such work. Interference with the metering equipment, its connections, the service line, or any other property of the Company may result in the discontinuance of service and additional charges to the Customer. It is further understood that it is the responsibility of the Customer to exercise reasonable care to prevent damage to the facilities (including damage by snow and ice from roofs or vehicular damage) and that the Customer may be held responsible for any such injury or damage. The Customer will notify the Company if any damage, defect, or leakage of gas is discovered.

Load Information shown above confirmed as accurate by the Customer (Customer Initials): __________Customer represents that the above information is an accurate listing of all gas-fired equipment intended to be used by the Customer. This information will be used by the Company to determine the size and type of service line and meter needed to serve the Customer. The Customer shall notify the Company of any future load changes. Load changes may require the Company to change the equipment needed to meet the Customer’s load demand. It is critical that the Customer inform ENSTAR’s Marketing Department before any additional gas-fired equipment is added to the service line. The Customer will be responsible for any and all additional costs and damages associated with failure to notify the Company of any load change.

Installation and Use of Excess Flow Valve Effective February 12, 2010, ENSTAR is required by Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations 49 CFR 192.383 to install an Excess Flow Valve (EFV) in all new and renewed service line that serve only one single-family residence.

Excess Flow Valve Definition An Excess Flow Valve (EFV) is a device placed inside the natural gas service line near the gas main that shuts off the flow of natural gas automatically if ENSTAR’s service line is broken or otherwise has excessive flow, thereby restricting the flow of gas and mitigating the potential for property damage. Such excessive flow can be caused by damage due to excavation, damage caused by a natural disaster such as an earthquake, or excessive flow due to additional gas-fired equipment being added to the service line that exceeds the design capacity of the EFV. EFV’s are designed for a specific flow range with some tolerance for additional load, and will be sized based on information provided by the Customer at the time application is made for a new or renewed service line. The cost of the initial installation is included in the service line charge. Installation of the EFV will NOT protect against Customer appliance gas leaks, small service line punctures or gas meter leaks. An EFV may not protect against damages due to earthquakes or flooding.

Customer Responsibilities It is critical that the Customer inform ENSTAR’s Marketing Department before any additional gas-fired equipment is added to the service line. Failure to do so could cause the EFV to close, disrupting natural gas service to the home. If a larger EFV needs to be installed to handle the Customer’s increased load, the Customer will be responsible for the Company’s cost to replace the EFV.

Should a Customer increase the load on the service line without notifying the Company causing the EFV to close, the Customer will be responsible for any and all costs and damages associated with the closed EFV, including but not limited to damage to the Customer’s dwelling and equipment, and the Company’s cost to repair and/or replace the EFV.
