S.D. Admin. R. 20:10:33:15
Each telecommunications company shall keep plant and equipment in a good state of repair consistent with safe and adequate service performance. Broken, damaged, or deteriorated parts which do not meet acceptable operating conditions shall be repaired or replaced. Adjustable apparatus and equipment shall be readjusted promptly when found by preventive routines or fault location tests to be in unsatisfactory operating condition. The presence of inductive interference, cut-offs, intelligible cross-talk, and excessive noise generation by communications system facilities during the provisioning of telecommunications services by the company are symptomatic of inadequate service, and a maintenance program shall be designed to minimize or prevent those occurrences.
