The kilo-watt hours to be billed for under Block No. 4 will be the difference between the total kilo-watt hours billed for under Blocks No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, and the total kilo-watt hours consumed during the Month.


Discount


The above Energy Rates are subject to a discount of ten (10%) per cent, if the bills are paid at the office of the Clerk of the Town Council on, or before, the 20th of the Month following that for which the bill was rendered,

The Demand will be determined by means of a Graphic Demand Meter. The Maximum monthly "Demand" to be used for "Billing Demand" will be the highest corrected 15 minute kilovolt Ampere Demand occurring across, or during, the "STATION PEAK". Demands occurring across, or during, "STATION OFF PEAK" will not be billed for.
