OTHER CHARGES AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE:
In any billing month in which the Utility receives customer transported gas for a customer’s account, the customer shall be billed for all gas delivered through the customer’s meter during such month under the customer’s applicable transportation rate schedule.
When a customer takes transportation service under this rate tariff, his billing cycle will be adjusted to a calendar month basis, with meters read on the first day of each month. Normally, a customer will receive a credit for his gas on the first bill issued after the Utility receives a bill from its pipeline supplier which contains a credit for the customer’s gas delivered to the Utility’s system during the month. However, if at the time customer’s bill is prepared, the Utility has not received a bill from the pipeline showing a credit for customer‑owned gas, a credit will be given if the Utility can determine transported volumes by telephone data from the pipeline. Any discrepancies will be made on a revised or subsequent bill to the customer.
In the event quantities of gas received by the Company on behalf of the customer are found to be less than the quantity of gas actually used by the customer, the customer agrees to pay for that quantity of gas at the applicable Tariff under which the customer is provided gas service.
Such gas service under this rate schedule is subject to physical constraints of the Company’s system and the General Terms and Conditions.
EXCESS VOLUMES OF CUSTOMER‑OWNED GAS (BANKED GAS):
Receipts of natural gas by the Utility that are in excess of quantities delivered to customer will be cashed out monthly. No “banking” of gas will be permitted. Cash-out volumes will be priced according to the customer transportation agreement referred to on Sheet No. 25.
Deliveries of natural gas by the Utility that are in excess of quantities received for customer will be billed to the customer at the current tariff rates in effect for the month of delivery.
