CURTAILMENT PRIORITIES

Mesa City Code § 5-14-7

in effect

5-14-7: - CURTAILMENT PRIORITIES (A) In times of shortages of gas deliveries to the City which have or may have the effect of impairing the City's ability to render service, the City will make reasonable efforts to request conservation of Customers' gas use, prior to requiring curtailment of Customers' gas use or curtailing gas use by restricting or shutting off gas service. (B) During a curtailment period, the Customer may utilize its allotted gas in the manner it desires provided the requested load curtailment is met. (C) In establishing a procedure to affect curtailments in accordance with the terms of this Chapter, the Department may develop a plan whereby it may administer curtailments to customers on a basis other than strictly pro rata, provided that the burden of such curtailments on an aggregate basis shall be reasonably equitable as among similarly situated Customers. (D) In the event of a partial or total failure in gas transmission or supply or a partial or total failure in the facilities or System of the City which threatens to impair the ability of the City to maintain the integrity of its System, the City may apportion its available supply of gas or capacity between and among Customers or a portion thereof in a reasonable and practical manner as determined by City. In such event the City shall have the right to shut off, discontinue, re-establish, or continue service to any class or combination of classes of Customers, or a portion thereof. (Ord. No. 5706, § 2, 6-6-22)
