5. AGREEMENT CONDITIONS
5.1 This Agreement is executed pursuant to Southwest's Customer-Owned Yard Line ("COYL") Program, which allows Southwest to
relocate the natural gas meter and replace the Customer-owned exterior gas piping (piping that currently connects at the meter
and continues to where the gas piping enters the Customer's premise) with gas piping that is owned and maintained by
Southwest. In accordance with the COYL Program's terms and conditions, Southwest will relocate the meter and replace the
COYL at no cost to the Customer. The Customer is responsible for all costs associated with house line (interior gas piping)
modifications and testing.
5.2 The Customer is prohibited from building any type of closed structure over the Subject Facilities. If this occurs, the Customer must
notify Southwest immediately to have Southwest's gas line(s) and/or meter relocated at the Customer's expense.
5.3 If Southwest cannot set the meter where the Customer's gas line(s) enter the house, the Customer will be responsible for
ensuring that qualified technicians plumb the Customer's exterior gas line(s) to the new meter set location. The Customer will,
at all times, be solely responsible for all maintenance and repairs related to piping that connects the meter to the house line.
5.4 Repairs or modifications to the Customer's gas line(s) completed by the Customer and/or plumber require a City or County
clearance tag to indicate that the plumbing passed inspection before the meter can be turned on.
5.5 Southwest is not responsible: (a) for determining if the Customer's underground gas line(s) have branches, (b) for determining
which appliances will be connected to the new service, or (c) for determining or confirming if a gas meter relocation will eliminate a
leak on the Customer's branch piping, house lines, or appliances.
5.6 Customer acknowledges that exterior underground gas line(s) may have branches to other appliances (e.g., pool heater,
barbecue, etc.), that may require repairs and/or replacement at the Customer's cost. Customer will, at all times, be solely
responsible for all maintenance and repairs related to branch piping.
5.7 Customer acknowledges that gas service will be unavailable during construction. Once the meter relocation is completed, gas
service will be restored. If the Customer is not present, the construction crew will leave a door hanger with instructions to
contact Southwest to arrange for a reset and relight.
5.8 Southwest requires a minimum of business days to obtain any necessary permits, locate utilities, and schedule the work.
To determine when your project has been scheduled, please call after 12 noon on the business day
following the receipt of a signed Agreement.
5.9 Southwest may attempt to insert new Southwest piping into existing COYLs to minimize trenching.
