TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3. MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT (Continued)
3.8 Right-of-Way and Rural Consumers - (Continued)
For measurement of gas delivered by El Paso to Shipper for
resale to such rural consumers, El Paso may, at its option,
require Shipper to install, maintain and operate at Shipper's
own expense, adjacent to El Paso's high-pressure regulators,
the meters, low-pressure regulators and other equipment
required.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of these General Terms
and Conditions and unless other operating arrangements
mutually agreeable to Shipper and El Paso are employed, the
following arrangements shall apply to deliveries of gas by El
Paso to Shipper for resale to right-of-way consumers as well
as to deliveries of gas by El Paso to Shipper for resale to
rural consumers where, pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph, Shipper installs meters, low-pressure regulators
and other equipment.
Shipper will service all equipment installed by it and the
consumers served by use thereof, including handling of all
complaints and/or service calls. The reading of said meters
shall be performed by the party most conveniently able to do
so as mutually agreed upon by El Paso and Shipper. If the
meters are read by Shipper, then Shipper shall furnish a copy
of the meter readings to the El Paso, all without expense to
El Paso; provided, however, that El Paso shall have the right
to read said meters at any reasonable time upon giving notice
to Shipper. All pipe, meters and other equipment shall remain
the property of the person or corporation paying for same.
Shipper at its own expense will from time to time check the
accuracy of the meters measuring said gas and shall give El
Paso reasonable notice in writing of its intention to do so.
The provisions of Sections 3.6 and 3.7 hereof shall apply to
the accuracy of Shipper's measuring equipment. El Paso may at
its option have a representative present at such test.
The frequency of meter reading and the billing for gas
delivered by El Paso to Shipper for resale to such
right-of-way and rural consumers shall be in accordance with
such operating arrangements as may be mutually satisfactory to
El Paso and Shipper.
