Applicable: This rate is available to residential, farm, and camp customers receiving single-phase service through one meter. This rate is mandatory for all residential, farm, and camp customers with monthly consumption equal to or greater than 1800 KWH or 8 KW for each of two consecutive months.

A customer may elect to cease taking service under this tariff after demonstrating for an eleven month perid that they do not equal or exceed 1800 KWH or 8 KW for any two consecutive months during the eleven month period in question. Immediately following such a demonstration, the customer may inform the Electric Department of their desire to be served under any other applicable residential tariff or may continue to take service under this tariff if they so desire.

In the event that installed electric heat and hot water is removed from dwelling being served under this tariff and such removal is verified by the Village of Swanton Village's Electric Department and is in the Electric Department's judgement likely to reduce loads to less than 1800 KWH and 8 KW per month, the customer may then elect to take service under any other applicable residential tariff. If such customer subsequent to such a removal requalifies for the Schedule "A-D" rate, they shall then be switched to Schedule "A-D". They must remain on the rate and meet the normal criteria for switching to another tariff as laid out in the second paragraph of this section.
