All new services must be covered by a membership. The Membership Fee is refundable, provided there are no outstanding bills, if the member leaves the Company's serving area.

ENGINEERING DESIGN FEE.......................... $300.00
The Engineering Design Fee is intended to help recover some of the costs incurred when it is necessary for the engineer to visit the project site, discuss the project details, consult with other utilities or public agencies, and to calculate associated labor and material costs.

Upon request, Peninsula Light Company will provide rough cost estimates free of charge for any standard line extension project. Overhead to underground conversions or system relocations shall require detailed cost estimates since costs may vary considerably depending on extent of job.

Those requests that require a detailed cost estimate shall first pay the design fee. The design fee shall be based on a percentage of the anticipated cost of construction or a minimum flat fee, and shall be applied toward the final job costs provided full payment is received within 90 days of the estimate date.

Detailed cost estimates are valid for a period of 90 days from the date of the estimate. Additional design fees shall be required if the 90 days has expired OR if any changes require the project to be redesigned or costs recalculated.
