3. Impaired Access and Clearances.
Whenever the Utility determines that its existing service facilities have become inaccessible for the purposes of inspection, operation, maintena nce, Meter reading or testing, or a hazardous condition exists, or any of the required clearances between the existing service facilities and any object becomes impaired in violation any applicable laws, ordinances, these Rules and Regulations, or the rules and regulations of other public authorities having jurisdiction, then the following applies:
The Applicant or owner shall, at the Applicant’s or owner’s expense, either correct the access or clearance infractions or pay the Ut ility its total estimated cost to relocate its facilities to a new location acce ptable to the Utility. The Applicant or owner shall also be responsible for the expense to relocate any equi pment that the Applicant owns and maintains.
Failure to comply with corrective measures within a reasonable time may result in discontinuance of service.
H. EXCEPTIONAL CASES
In unusual circumstances, when the application of these Rules appears impractical or unjust, or not expressly covered, the developer may refer the matter to the Director or designee for special ruling or for the approval of special conditions. The special ruling or approval of special conditions will be agreed to in writing by th e developer and the Utility prior to commencing construction and must comply with all standards for utilities set forth by the National Electric Safety Code (NESC). If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved with the Director or designee, the developer may request a determination from the City Manager using the procedure set forth in Rule 10-F. If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved by the City Manager, the developer may seek appeal from the City Council using the procedure set forth in Rule 10-G.
I. SERVICE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
Service designs, plans and estimates to determine service charges, or deposits will not be initiated by the Utility until it has reasonable assurance that the Applicant’s project will be built.
This assurance is normally taken as the issuance of a building permit. Should the Applicant desire these service plans and the amount of charges at an earlier time, the Applicant may pay a deposit for early design as determined by the Utility. The design work will then be scheduled along with all other eligible Applicants. A deposit for early design will be credited to the cost of the design and installation of service or refunded as appropriate.
The cost of multiple designs to explore options or redesigns required by changes beyond the control of the Utility shall be paid by the Applicant.

Rule 17 – Meter Tests and Adjustment of Bills for Errors
A. GENERAL
When regular, accurate Meter readings are not available or the electric usage has not been accurately measured, the Utility may estimate the Customer’s energy usage for billing purposes on the basis of information including, but not limited to, the physical condition of the metering equipment, available Meter readings, records of historical use and the general characteristics of the Customer’s load and operation.
B. TESTS
1. On Customer Request. The Customer may, on notice of not less than one week, request that the Utility test the Customer’s metered services.
2. No charge will be made for such test, but should the Customer request a test within four (4) months after installation or more often than once in six (6) months, a deposit will be required to cover the cost of the test. This de posit will be returned if the meter is found to register more than 2% fast or 2% slow. The amount of the deposit will be dependent on the type of Meter to be tested. .
3. The Customer shall have the right to re quest that the Utility conduct the test in the Customer’s presence or in the presence of an expert or other representative appointed by the Customer. The results of the test will be furnished to the Customer within a reasonable time after completion of the test.
C. ADJUSTMENT OF BILLS FOR METER ERROR
A Meter Error is incorrect kilowatt-hour, kilovar- hour, or demand registra tion resulting from a malfunctioning or defective Meter. It does not include Billing Error, Unauthorized Use, or an error in registration ca used by Meter tampering by an unauthorized person. It also does not include conditions such as grounds, shorts, incorrect Meter readings, Meter dial-overs, improper load wiring (including other Customers’ circuits connected to the wiring), accounting errors, switched Meters, improper Customer wiring, blown fuse in one energized conductor or incorrect Meter sizing.
When, as the result of a Meter test, a Meter is found to be non-registering or incorrectly registering, the Utility may render an adjusted bill to the Customer for the amount of the undercharge and shall issue a refund or credit to the Customer for the amount of the overcharge, computed back to the date that the Utility determines the Meter Error commenced, except that the period of adjustment shall not exceed three (3) years. Such adjusted bills shall be computed in accordance with the following:
Rule 17
City of Victorville Municipal Utility Services - Electric Service Rules, Regulations and Rate Schedules Rules and Regulations Only – Revised Effective December 1November 19September 1, 2024 – City Council Resolution 24-09576

When any Meter is tested and found to be registering more than two percent (2%) fast, the Utility w i l l r ef un d t o t h e Cus t o m er th e am o un t of t he o ve rc har g e, based on corrected Meter readings or the Utility’s estimate of the energy usage either for the known period of the Meter Error, or if the period of error is not known, for the period during which the Meter was in use, not to exceed three (3) years.
2. Slow Meters. If a Meter is found to be registering more than two percent (2%) slow, the Utility may bill the Customer for the amount of the undercharge based on corrected Meter readings or the Utility’s estimate of the energy usage eith er for the known period of the Meter Error, or if the period of the Meter Error is not known for the period the Meter was in use, not exceeding three (3) years for all services.
3. Non-Registering Meters. When any Meter is tested and found to be non- registering, the Utility may bill the Customer for the estimate of electricity consumed, but not registered, not to exceed three (3) years prior to the date the Meter is found to be non-registering for all service. Bills for this purpose will be estimated by the Utility.
D. ADJUSTMENT OF BILLS FOR BILLING ERROR
A Billing Error is an error by the Utility that results in incorrect billing charges to the Customer.
Billing Errors may include incorrect Meter reads or clerical errors by a Utility representative, such as applying the wrong rate, wrong billing factor, or an incorrect calculation. A Billing Error does not include a Meter Error or Unauthorized Use, nor any error in billing resulting from Meter dial over caused by other than the Utility; switched or mismarked Meters by other than the Utility; improper Customer wiring; blown fuse in one energized conductor; inaccessible Meter; failure of the Customer to notify the Utility of changes in the Customer’s equipment or operation; or failure of the Customer to take advantage of a rate or condition of service for which the Customer is eligible.
Where the Utility overcharges or undercharges the Customer as the result of a Billing Error, the Utility may render an adjusted bill for the amount of the undercharge, and shall issue a refund or credit to the Customer for the amount of the over charge for the period of the billing error, but not exceeding three (3) years in the case of an overcharge, and, in the case of an undercharge, not exceeding three (3) years for all services.
