The Cooperative, upon the request of a property owner, member, or developer, will consider relocating existing overhead facilities. Any relocation of facilities will be analyzed with a view to better the Cooperative’s system and to not cause the Cooperative future problems. Betterment of the electric system occurs when, in the sole judgment of the Cooperative, the proposed change results in needed repair or improvement that provides easier maintenance, repairs, replacement, or reconstruction of the facility, and, in the sole judgment of the Cooperative, the economic return of the project justifies the investment in the facility relocation. The owner, member, or developer making the request for relocation will be responsible for all costs incurred that do not result in betterment of the electric system, for obtaining all necessary rights-of-way, and for all costs associated with cutting and clearing the rights-of-way of vegetation or other obstructions. If the Cooperative agrees to the relocation as requested, the party requesting the relocation will make arrangements for payment of the total estimated non-betterment costs before the relocation begins.
