Florida City Gas FPSC Natural Gas Tariff Volume No. 9 Original Sheet No. 17 RULES AND REGULATIONS (Continued) 13. RIGHT TO SUSPEND OR DISCONTINUE SERVICE TO A CUSTOMER (Continued) Failure of Company to exercise its rights to suspend, curtail or discontinue service, for any of the above reasons, shall not be deemed a waiver thereof. When service has been discontinued for any of the reasons set forth in the Tariff, the Company shall not be required to restore service until the Customer has paid the applicable charges to the Company required for service restoration. 14. EXTENSION OF FACILITIES A. Free Extensions of Mains and Services: The maximum capital investment required to be made by the Company for main and service facilities without cost to the Customer shall be defined as the Maximum Allowable Construction Cost ("MACC"). The MACC shall equal six times the annual Margin Revenues estimated to be derived from the facilities. However, Customers initially served under the Residential Standby Generator Service ("RSG') and Commercial Standby Generator Service ("CSG') Rate Schedules shall not be eligible for extension allowances, even if additional load is added at a later date, but such Customers may be eligible to receive refunds of amounts paid to the Company for extensions under B.(2) below. B. Extensions of Mains and Services Above Free Limit: When the cost of the extension required to provide service is greater than the free limit specified above, the Company may require a non-interest bearing advance in Aid to Construction ("ATC') equal to the cost in excess of such free limit provided that: (1) At the end of the first year following construction, the Company shall refund to the person paying the ATC or their assigns an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the MACC as recalculated using actual gas revenues, less the actual cost of gas, over the estimated MACC used to determine the amount of the ATC. (2) For each additional Customer taking service at any point on the extension within a period of five (5) years from date of construction, the Company shall refund to the person paying the ATC or their assigns an amount by which the MACC for the new Customer exceeds the cost of connecting the Customer, provided that an additional main extension shall have not been necessary to serve the additional Customer. (3) The aggregate refund to any Customer made through the provisions of (a) and (b) above shall at no time exceed the original ATC of such Customer. (4) The extension shall at all times be the property of the Company and any un - refunded portion of the ATC at the end of five (5) years shall be credited to the plant account of the Company. (5) The Company may require a commitment by a Customer to take or pay for a minimum volume of gas as deemed appropriate by the Company given the circumstances of facility cost and/or the service requirements of a particular Customer. In no instance will the minimum volume commitment be set at a level that exceeds the volume amount used to calculate the MACC for the Customer, nor will the volume commitment term exceed six (6) years.
