40 UTILITIES, INC. ORIGINAL SHEE•i NO. 9.0 VERO SHORES AND VERO BEACH HIGHLANDS DIVISION (Continued from Sheet No. 8.0) to those lots. These commitments by Utility were based upon contracts made in the past and are not available to prospective customers or contributors. A list showing the lots to which service will be made available, as an invest- ment by Utility, is available in Utility's office, and may be examined by any customer or prospective customer during the regular business hours of Utility's office. (25-10.120, F.A.C.) 15.0 EXTENSION OUTSIDE TERRITORY. Providing service outside Utility's territory involves formal notice and formal proceedings before the Florida Public Service Commission and, therefore, entails engineer- ing, administrative and legal expenses in addition to costs incurred by Utility in providing service within its ter- ritory. Utility will, therefore, not be obligated to provide its services outside the territory unless the con- tributor agrees, in advance, to defray those additional expenses and pay to Utility the estimated costs thereof. The advance payment will be adjusted to conform with actual expenses after the proceedings have been concluded. Utility will further make such extensions outside the ter- ritory only if the net income to be derived from prospec- tive consumers within the area to be served by the proposed extension will provide a fair return on Utility's in- vestment in the prcpcsed extension, transmission, and treatment facilities involved. Utility will not extend its facilities under circumstances where the extensions will cause service to existing customers to suffer either as a result of reduction of capacity to provide its service to customers, or the diminishment of the economic capability Of Utility to meet its financial commitments. (See Section 367.061; 367.121(2), Florida Statutes) 16.0 DISTRI3UTION AND COLLECTION SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION. If any on-site distribution and collection systems are con- structed by the contributor as set forth in Paragraph 10.0 herein, Utility shall establish specifications based upon good engineering and public utility practices, and the con- tributor shall not less than thirty (30) days prior to com- mencing construction, furnish Utility with a complete copy of the plans and specifications o` the proposed on-site collection and distribution system. Utility shall have twenty (20) days in which to determine the acceptability . of the plans and snecifica-ions furn's,�ed to it by the con- tributor.
