Section 113.0808. Sealing meters and service entrance equipment.

 

(1)  Meters and metering equipment enclosures, which if open, would permit access to live parts from which energy could be used without proper measurement and utility-owned devices and equipment located on a customer's property for the control of his or her, load shall be sealed.

(2)  Where the entrance switch is combined with meter-test facilities, or is installed on the supply side of the meter, the entrance switch boxes may be sealed by the utility. The customer may remove the seal from any fuse compartment to replace fuses if the utility is promptly notified that such seal has been broken.

(3)  Where a utility supplies different classes of service at different rates to the same premises, such as lighting service and electric water heating service, the utility may seal the service switches.

(4)  Sealing and resealing shall be without charge to the customer.

(5)  This rule shall not require modernization of old installations or the sealing of installations which cannot practicably be sealed. Sealing shall not be such as to interfere with the operation of any switch or protective equipment.
