General Order 128

Section I

General Provisions

12.1    Construction and Reconstruction of Lines

These requirements apply to all systems, parts of systems, and extensions constructed on or after the effective date of the applicable rule(s). Elements of systems constructed prior to the effective date of the applicable rule(s) shall be brought into compliance with these rules when that element of the system is reconstructed or replaced.

An element added to an existing underground system, or element of an existing system, shall meet all requirements of these rules, but will not require any change in elements already existing.

Example:    Pulling cable into an existing conduit system does not require upgrading the existing conduit system.

Note:    Revised October 9, 1996 by Resolution SU–40.

A.    Services

Services may be added to existing plant without necessitating changes in the system from which they originate.
