Please describe why there are 12 IND and 18 ROT meters on Schedule 101. See Idaho Gas COS Excel spreadsheet(tab titled “Meters Average equip type”).RESPONSE:
Large multi-unit apartment complexes that are served by a single meter (master metered) in some circumstances utilize a large flow gas meter (IND/ROT). The tenants in these units tend to be residential customers and therefore the large flow meters (IND/ROT) are assigned to Schedule 101.
