1. The member will upon notification by the Cooperative, reduce
his load being supplied by the Cooperative to the contract
capacity level specified by the contract.
2. The Cooperative will endeavor to provide the member with as
much advance notice as possible of the interruption of service.
However, the member shall interrupt service within the notice
period as contracted.

circuits to different points on the Member's system.

firm power shall be owned and maintained by the Member.
