"Meter Location" shall be the point at which gas shall be delivered to and received
by the applicant, shall be out-of-doors, and shall be at a point designated by the Company

exceed, by more than ten feet, the shortest distance between the Company's distribution
main and the building to be served.

installing an extension assuming the existing distribution main is located in the center of
the street or alley.
"Annual Revenue" shall be the Company's estimate of the annual payments under
the applicable rate for the gas service requested.
A "year" shall begin with the first meter reading date after service is available and
shall end twelve months thereafter.

The applicant shall grant to the Company the right to remove (and replace) or
otherwise disturb, lawns, shrubs or other property on the applicant's premises as

SCHEDULE 151 - Continued
EXTENSION RULES:
1. The Company will furnish and install, at its expense, an extension if
the annual revenue therefrom will be not less than one-third the extension cost.
2. The Company will furnish and install, at its expense, an extension if
the annual revenue therefrom will be more than one-sixth but less than one-third
the extension cost provided the applicant agrees to pay, for gas service for a
period of five years, an annual amount equal to not less than one-third the
extension cost.
3. The Company will not be required to construct extensions where the
annual revenue will be less than one-sixth the extension cost.
4. Facilities provided by the Company in accordance with Rule 2 above
will be deemed an extension (hereafter called "existing extension") during the first
five years that service is available therefrom. Applicants for service involving an
addition to an "existing extension" during such five years will be considered as
applicants for a new extension except that the annual minimum payments of such
applicants for the remainder of the five year term of the existing extension shall not
be less than the minimum payments required considering the new extension and
the existing extension as a "combined extension." In the event the annual
minimum payments required for the combined extension are less than those
required for the existing extension, annual minimum payments of customers on the
existing extension will be reduced to such lesser payments for the remainder of the
original five-year term.
5. The Company may require applicants to advance to the Company a
sum equal to 12 minimum monthly payments under the applicable schedule or
agreement. Such advance, to be paid before the Company is required to initiate
construction, shall be applied as a credit to the customer's gas account for the 12
months beginning with the first meter reading after gas service is made available.
