The member shall provide an easily accessible and suitable location for the cooperative’s meter and meter loop.

The member’s meter shall be accessible to the cooperative at all times.

Such point shall be outside of the member’s installation or structure(s) at a location, which will facilitate connection in accordance with the National Electrical Safety Code, the National Electric Code, and standard operating practices of the cooperative.

The member shall furnish and install all apparatus, including disconnects and breakers, and all electrical wiring on the member’s premises except the meter loop. The member shall at all times ensure that the member’s premises, facilities and equipment comply with the provisions of the National Electrical Code and the National Electrical Safety Code as well as other applicable standards imposed by law or ordinance.

The cooperative accepts no responsibility and assumes no liability for the adequacy of the member’s installation or for damage and/or injury as a result of inadequate apparatus or equipment, incorrect wiring, faulty material or workmanship, or any other deficiencies of defects in the wiring, and/or equipment on the member’s premises.
