Section 3.52.415. Establishment of temporary service.

	(a)  Before it establishes service, a utility may require an applicant for temporary service to pay the estimated cost of installing and removing the facilities necessary to furnish the desired service.  
	(b)  If the duration of temporary service is to be less than one month, a utility may also require an applicant to advance a sum of money equal to the estimated bill for service. If the duration of temporary service is to exceed one month, the applicant may also be required to meet the deposit requirements set out in the utility's effective tariff.  
	(c)  If, during the term of the temporary service agreement, the character of a temporary customer's operations changes or it appears that the duration of the service may be substantially longer than stated in the application, the utility shall classify the customer as permanent and may immediately apply the deposit and line extension rules in its effective tariff.  
	(d)  No utility may allow a temporary service connection to continue longer than 12 months unless, for good cause shown, the utility has approved an extension of time for temporary service or unless application for permanent service has been made by the customer.
