Re:
Oakridge Farms located on the SEC of Dysart Road and Greenway Road in El
Mirage, AZ
Dear Mr. Seely,
The above referenced project is located in Arizona Public Service Company’s electric
service area. The Company extends its lines in accordance with the “Conditions
Governing Extensions of Electric Distribution Lines and Services,” Schedule 3, and
the “Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Electric Service,” Schedule 1, on file with
the Arizona Corporation Commission at the time we begin installation of the electric
facilities.
Application for the Company’s electric service often involves construction of new
facilities for various distances and costs depending upon customer’s location, load
size and load characteristics. With such variations, it is necessary to establish
conditions under which Arizona Public Service will extend its facilities.
The enclosed Schedule 3 policy governs the extension of overhead and underground
electric facilities to customers whose requirements are deemed by Arizona Public
Service to be usual and reasonable in nature.
Please give me a call at 623-975-5724 so that we may set up an appointment to
discuss the details necessary for your project.
Sincerely,
Tammy Billman

All facility installations and upgrades will be made in accordance with good utility construction
practices, as determined by Company, and are subject to the availability of adequate capacity,
voltage and Company facilities at the beginning point of an extension as determined by
