and equipment up to the point of delivery for every bona fide applicant for
service who has complied with this Chapter and the provisions of the utility's
terms and conditions of service as approved by the Commission. Unless
specifically designated in their terms and conditions to the contrary, a
utility shall provide its standard size connectors and connect the consumer's

application of either, shall make a determination as to the appropriate
location.
(g)
Permanent
discontinuance of delivery of electric service. When the utility
permanently discontinues delivery of electric service to any consumer's
premises, the utility shall have the right at any reasonable time thereafter,
to enter upon the premises and remove its meter and any other property the
