Latest version.
  • The commission shall prescribe just and reasonable  rates,
      terms  and  conditions  for  attachments to utility poles and the use of
      utility ducts, trenches and conduits. A just and reasonable  rate  shall
      assure  the utility of the recovery of not less than the additional cost
      of providing a pole attachment or of using a trench, duct or conduit nor
      more than the actual operating expenses and return  on  capital  of  the
      utility  attributed to that portion of the pole, duct, trench or conduit
      used.   With respect to  cable  television  attachments  and  use,  such
      portion  shall  be the percentage of total usable space on a pole or the
      total capacity of the duct or conduit that is occupied by the facilities
      of the user. Usable space shall be the space on a utility pole above the
      minimum grade level which can be used for the attachment  of  wires  and
      cables.
