Residential Meter Reading
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering a proposal filed by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid to modify its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 1, regarding a new provision relating to residential meter reading.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 39(4), 65 and 66
Subject:
Residential meter reading.
Purpose:
To establish provisions for a special meter read for when service is discontinued to residential customers.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a tariff filing by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (KEDLI) on November 8, 2018, to amend its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 1.
KEDLI proposes to modify General Information Section II.3.B Meter Reading and Rendering of Bills, to establish a new provision for meter reading for the discontinuation of utility service to residential customers in accordance with the recently enacted Public Service Law Section 39(4), which became effective on August 24, 2018. KEDLI proposes to include language in its tariff explaining a residential customer’s ability to request a meter read on a date other than the customer’s regularly scheduled meter read date. KEDLI also proposes to charge a fee of $20 for all special meter reads requested by the customer. The proposed amendment has an effective date of May 1, 2019.
The full text of the filing and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve related matters.
