The Company may, upon request, extend the due date (i.e., the date 17 days following the billing date) to the sixth day of the month following the month in which a customer is billed, provided that the Customer applies for and is accepted by the Company as a participant in the Senior Citizen Payment Plan.

7. PAYMENT AFTER DUE DATE OF SERVICE BILL

Once in each half calendar year, but not more often, the Company may upon the Customer’s request waive the deferred payment charge on a delinquent bill, provided payment is tendered not later than the last date for payment of net amount of the next succeeding month’s bill.

Whenever the service has been turned off by the Company for non-payment of bills or whenever a reconnection of service is made for a Customer at the same location, more often than once in a twelve-month period, and service in each such case has been turned off at the Customer’s request, a charge will be made by the Company to cover the cost of reconnection of service, which charge shall be in accordance with reconnection charges listed on Sheet No. 57 of this tariff.
