In emergencies endangering life or property, a small telecommunications utility may terminate utility service without following the procedures set forth in division 34. However, the small telecommunications utility shall immediately thereafter notify the Commission. In such cases, where the necessity for emergency termination was through no fault of the customer, there will be no charge made for restoration of utility service.
