electricity supply is restored, unless it can be shown that the consumer does
                   not use or deal with the electricity in an improper or unsafe manner.

Electricity tariffs and fees

16. Copies of charges and fees may be obtained free of charge at the offices
                   of the municipality

Deposits

17. The municipality reserves the right to require the consumer to deposit a sum
                   of money as security in payment of any charges which are due or may
                   become due to the municipality. The amount of the deposit in respect of
                   each electricity installation shall be determined by the municipality, and
                   each such deposit may be increased if the municipality deems the deposit
                   held to be inadequate. Such deposit shall not be regarded as being in
                   payment or part payment of any accounts due for the supply of electricity
                   for the purpose of obtaining any discount provided for in the electricity tariff
                   referred to in this by-law. On cessation of the supply of electricity, the
                   amount of such deposit, free of any interest, less any payments due to the
                   municipality shall be refunded to the consumer.

Payment of charges

18. (1) The consumer shall be liable for all charges listed in the prescribed
                       tariff for the electricity service as approved by the municipality a copy
                       of which is obtainable free of charge from the municipality.

(2) All accounts shall be deemed to be payable when issued by the
                       municipality and each account shall, on its face, reflect the due date
                       and a warning indicating that the supply of electricity may be
                       disconnected should the charges in respect of such supply remain
                       unpaid after the due date.

(3) An error or omission in any account or failure to render an account shall
                       not relieve the consumer of his obligation to pay the correct amount
                       due for electricity supplied to the premises and the onus shall be on the
                       consumer to satisfy himself that the account rendered is in accordance
                      with the prescribed tariff of charges in respect of electricity supplied to
                       the premises.

(4) Where a duly authorised official of the municipality has visited the
                       premises for the purpose of disconnecting the supply of electricity in
                      terms of subsection (2) and he is obstructed or prevented from effecting
                      such disconnection, the prescribed fee shall become payable for each
                      visit necessary for the purpose of such disconnection.
