The Applicant agrees as follows:

Applicant hereby acknowledges that the Association will assess a late fee on accounts not paid on or before the due date and charges for disconnect and reconnection of service if such occurs and that the Association does not re‐connect meters outside of normal business hours.
- To cause the Applicant’s premises to be wired in accordance with appropriate building code for all new construction and remodeling. Applicant understands that the Association’s responsibility for wiring does not extend beyond its meter socket.
