The customer is responsible for the payment of bills until service is ordered discontinued and the Company has had a reasonable time for securing a final meter reading. If a bill remains unpaid after the final date shown thereon, the Company shall then have the right to discontinue service to the delinquent customer after 14 days prior written notice as authorized by the rules and regulations periodically promulgated or amended by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.

The Company may also discontinue service after 14 days prior written notice upon violation of any of the Company's rules or regulations of which these General Terms and Conditions are a part; provided, however, that where fraudulent use of gas is detected or where the Company's regulating or measuring equipment has been tampered with or where a dangerous condition is found to exist on the customer's premises, service may be shut off without notice in advance.

A charge of $40.00 will be made for all disconnections to cover the cost of reconnection. Such charge shall apply to all reconnections whether caused by voluntary or involuntary disconnections, except disconnections done for the benefit of the Company. Disconnections due to the customer's failure to pay a bill, violation of these Rules, fraud, tampering with Company equipment, or a dangerous condition in existence on the customer's premises, shall not constitute a disconnection for the benefit of the Company.
