About the funding
Residential Overhead Line/Service Extensions
Customers will be provided up to 92 metres of overhead line/service extension allowance at no cost, as provided for under Regulation 2.6. Any line/service extensions in excess of the allowance above will be at the cost of the customer. If any additional customers are connected to a contributed line/service extension, they will be expected to contribute to the cost of any shared line plus contribute the cost of any dedicated line minus a credit for overhead service allowance.
Customers who have paid a capital contribution will be entitled to a refund each time additional customers are connected to the line within ten years of the date of the customer's capital contribution. The refund will be the difference between the net capital contribution paid or adjusted to date and what would have been required if the additional customers had attached at the time the contribution was paid. Each refund will be reduced by 10% as an administration fee. The maximum refund a customer can receive is 90% of the latest contribution. Notwithstanding the above, no refunds of capital contributions associated with any line/service extension will be made after such line/service extension is more than 15 years old.
