Sec. 30.
(a) The cost of the main extension may, as determined by the utility, be either: (1) the estimated cost of the extension; or(2) the actual cost of a developer-installed extension.(b) For any special construction, or for any other facility involved in a main extension, the cost shall be the utility's best estimate of the cost of the main, special construction, or related facilities based upon current available information.(c) If the utility's future extension plans require a larger main than is reasonably necessary to serve the applicants and prospective customers, the difference in the cost for the larger main size and increased material and installation cost, if any, shall be borne by the utility.(d) The estimated cost shall be adjusted to the actual cost by the utility, in which event the actual cost as finally determined shall constitute the cost of the main extension. If the main extension agreement provides for the adjustment of the estimated cost of the main extension to the actual cost, the adjustment shall be made upon completion of the main extension. If the actual cost of the extension is less than the estimated cost, the utility shall refund the difference to the original depositor as soon as the actual cost has been determined. If the actual cost of the extension exceeds the estimated cost, then the utility shall bill the original depositor for, and such depositor shall pay, the difference between the estimated cost and the actual cost.Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission; 170 IAC 8.5-4-30; filed Dec 5, 1990, 3:35 p.m.: 14 IR 569; readopted filed Jul 11, 2001, 4:30 p.m.: 24 IR 4233; readopted filed Apr 24, 2007, 8:21 a.m.: 20070509-IR-170070147RFA; readopted filed Aug 2, 2013, 2:16 p.m.: 20130828-IR-170130227RFAReadopted filed 4/11/2019, 9:04 a.m.: 20190508-IR-170190136RFA
