                        accommodation in an approved position, the meter board and
                        adequate conductors for the municipality's metering equipment,
                       service apparatus and protective devices. Such accommodation and
                        protection shall be provided and maintained, to the satisfaction of the
                        municipality, at the cost of the consumer or the owner, as the
                       circumstances may demand, and shall be situated, in the case of
                       conventional meters, at a point to which free and unrestricted access
                       shall be had at all reasonable hours for the reading of meters but at all
                       times for purposes connected with the operation and maintenance of
                       the service equipment. Access at all reasonable hours shall be afforded
                       for the inspection of prepayment meters.

(2) Where submetering equipment is installed, accommodation separate
                       from the municipality's metering equipment shall be provided.

(3) The consumer or, in the case of a common meter position, the owner
                        of the premises shall provide adequate electric lighting in the space
                        set aside for accommodating the metering equipment and service
                        apparatus.

(4) Where in the opinion of the municipality the position of the meter,
                         service connection, protective devices or main distribution board is
                         no longer readily accessible or becomes a course of danger to life or
                         property or in any way becomes unsuitable, the consumer shall
                         remove it to a new position, and the cost of such removal, which shall
                         be carried out with reasonable dispatch, shall be borne by the
                         consumer.

(5) The accommodation for the municipality's metering equipment and
                         protective devices may, if approved, include the consumer's main
                         switch and main protective devices. No apparatus other than that
                         used in connection with the supply of electricity and use of electricity
                         shall be installed or stored in such accommodation unless approved.
