Section 56.263. Billings for merchandise, appliances and nonrecurring and recurring services

Charges for other than basic service—that is, merchandise, appliances and special services, including merchandise and appliance installation, sales, rental and repair costs; meter testing fees; line extension costs; special construction charges and other nonrecurring charges, except as provided in this chapter—must appear after charges for basic services and appear distinctly separate. This includes charges for optional recurring services which are distinctly separate and clearly not required for the physical delivery of service. Examples include line repair programs and appliance warranty programs. See § 56.323(3) (relating to unauthorized termination of service).
