Curtailment in emergencies.

1. If a utility determines that an emergency is threatened which would cause an immediate forced termination of service to a major portion of its customers, it may curtail service to any customer, regardless of his or her assigned priority. Any customer who does not comply with the curtailment is subject to termination of service by the utility. 2. During such an emergency the utility shall first make every practicable effort to curtail service to those customers having the capability of using an alternative fuel.
