Manner of Operation of Facilities. All electric distribution facilities, lines, and systems for electric services owned, maintained, operated, or managed by the grantee, its successors or assignees, shall be operated and maintained at all times in the best manner. It shall be the duty of the grantee, its successors or assignees, whenever required to do so by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) or its legal successor, or the Department of Energy (DOE) or its legal successor, or any other government agency concerned, to modify, improve and change such facilities or systems in such manner and to such extent as the progress in science and improvements in the electric power service industry may render reasonable and proper.

Whenever practicable and for purposes of maintaining order, safety and aesthetics along highways, roads, streets, alleys, or easements, the grantee may allow the use of its poles, facilities, or easements by interested parties upon reasonable compensation. The ERC shall resolve cases of dispute or disagreement between parties.
