NAC704.509. Distribution of new supply made available by customer.

If a customer has made available to a utility a new supply of natural gas which would not otherwise be available to the utility, it shall distribute the new supply as follows:

     1. On any day when the utility is having to curtail its distribution of natural gas to customers whose requirements are entitled to the first priority, the utility shall use the new supply to meet those requirements.

     2. On any day when the utility is having to curtail its distribution to customers with firm requirements inferior to the first priority, the utility shall maintain the highest level of service to the customer who made available the new supply but only to the extent of the utility’s obligation for daily delivery to that customer, as set forth in the applicable agreement between the customer and the utility.

     3. On any day when the utility has fulfilled its obligation for daily delivery to the customer who made the new supply available, any additional volumes of gas must be used to augment the utility’s base supply.
