Where electrical energy has been diverted or the utility’s equipment for measuring the service or controlling a customer’s load has been interfered with, the utility may require the customer to install entrance and service equipment to prevent current diversion or interference with the metering or control equipment.

Note: See s. PSC 113.0808.

Note: Care should be taken in determining the existence of diversion and amount of energy diverted. In case check-meters are used, the possibility of grounds between meters, normal meter inaccuracies and incorrect connections of meters should not be over-looked. The requirements of the Wisconsin state electrical code for entrances should effectively prevent such diversion. Attention is directed to ss. 939.32 and 943.20, Stats.
