Sec. 14-1.1. Moratorium on new gas service.[140]
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 14-1, no new gas
service to any property shall be initiated following the adoption of
this section, nor shall any gas customer be permitted to convert
any facility presently using another fuel source to the use of
city supplied gas.
The foregoing paragraph shall not be deemed to prohibit the
replacement of any existing gas burning apparatus or to prohibit
the installation of gas service in a newly constructed building on
any property previously receiving gas service, provided such
replaced or newly installed gas equipment does not result in
increased gas consumption on such property. Neither shall such
foregoing paragraph be deemed to prohibit the initiation of gas
service to any building under construction as of the adoption of
this section for which building and plumbing permits
contemplating the use of gas equipment have already been issued,
or to any individual single family or duplex residence for which
such permits are issued prior to April 1, 1975.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the
transfer of existing gas service from the name or account of the
customer presently receiving such service to the name or account
of a new customer occupying the same property, provided there
is no change in the gas consuming equipment installed upon such
property which would result in increased gas consumption.
