970 1946/5/4 Department Copy His Excellency the Director of the Baghdad City Water Supply Committee, Respected Greetings and respect, Furthermore, we hope to inform you that we were not aware regarding the supply of the Masarin warehouse attached to the Jewish Slaughterhouse located on Sheikh Omar Street with water from the same slaughterhouse, as this occurred inadvertently by the slaughterhouse guards, and this matter was considered a violation, which led your respected committee to cut off the water from the aforementioned slaughterhouse. Therefore, given the absence of bad faith in this regard as we explained above, we hope you will kindly reconsider this matter and graciously order the connection of water to the slaughterhouse urgently, as it is not hidden from your Excellency that the referred slaughterhouse is considered one of the public places where large quantities of sheep are slaughtered daily, and delaying water in it is contrary to health conditions, noting that we have instructed those in charge of the slaughterhouse's affairs to refrain from repeating such a violation in the future.

The cleat system of wiring is permitted. All wires must be properly maintained, either inside a lead sheath, inside wooden casings, or inside a pipe. It is not permissible to bury lead-sheathed wires or those inside wooden casings in plaster, and it is permissible to use the method of extending wires secured by porcelain cleats. 8. Motors.— For power the supply will be given at a special voltage. Particulars on application. 8 — Motors: The supply for industry is provided at a special scale. Details can be obtained upon application. Any special regulation of the Government must be complied with. Any special regulations issued by the Government must be observed. The Company also require that the starting current of motors shall not exceed that of full load and must be controlled in reasonably graduated steps. Clutches, loose pulleys, and no volt release switches must be provided where deemed necessary by the Company's Engineer. The power factor of alternating current motors must not be less than 7 at half load and 8 at full load. The company requires that the entire supply not be given at the first start of the motor, but rather given gradually. Machines and devices must be used for the safety of the current flow in the locations designated by the company's engineer, with a machine for adjustments, provided that its power does not exceed 0.7 when using half the amount of power and 0.8 when using the full power. No motor or apparatus which adversely affects the public supply shall be retained on circuits, even if otherwise it complies with the above conditions. It is not permissible to take power for a motor or a device if that affects the general supply, even if it complies with the conditions mentioned above. 9. Exposed Metals.—In no case will exposed metal carrying current be allowed. This does not apply to bare conductors erected overhead and approved by the Company's Engineer. 9 — Exposed Metal: Exposed metal that carries the current is strictly prohibited, with the exception of suspended bare wires approved by the company's engineer. 10. Testing—At least 48 hours' notice in writing must be given to the Company's Engineer that an installation is ready for testing. Before a test is made all work must be completed, no temporary wires or fittings being allowed. The Contractor must see that all lamps and fuses are inserted and all switches turned on. 10 — Testing: The company's engineer must be notified in writing at least 48 hours in advance of the readiness to test one of the installations. The entire work must be completed before the test is carried out, and temporary wires or fittings are not allowed to be left. The contractor must ensure that all lamps and fuses are installed and that all switches are turned on. No charge will be made for the first inspection and test, but, if more than one test is found necessary, a fee of 380 fils, payable in advance, will be made for each subsequent inspection and test. No fee is collected for the first test; however, if it is necessary to perform more than one test, a fee of 380 fils is paid in advance for each test following the first test. No installation will be connected where the insulation resistance between the whole of the wiring and fittings and earth is less than 25 megohms divided by the number of points on circuits, except that the insulation resistance of any final lighting sub-circuit need not exceed one megohm. Electricity is not provided to any installations if the insulation resistance between all wires and tools and the ground is less than 25 (megohms) divided by the number of points of these circuits, unless the insulation resistances for lamps installed on a sub-circuit do not require more than one megohm. 11. Additional Lights.—Notice must be given to the Company of any additions or alterations to the installation; failure to give this notice may damage the Company's apparatus, for which damage the Consumer will be held responsible and it may also render it necessary for the Company to cut off the supply without notice. 11 — Additional Lamps: The company must be notified of additions and changes in the installations, as failure to notify it may lead to the destruction of the company's equipment, and the consumer will be responsible for that, and the company may be forced to cut off the supply from him without warning. 12. Non-Liability.—The Company only issue these Rules for the convenience and guidance of the Consumers and such are not intended to take the places of any rules issued by the Fire Insurance Companies interested in the Consumer's property, or, where such rules do not exist, of those issued by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, England. 12 — Non-Liability: The company issues these regulations for the convenience of the public and for their enlightenment, and these regulations do not replace the regulations issued by fire insurance companies related to the consumer's property, nor do they replace the regulations issued by the Institution of Electrical Engineers in England in the absence of fire insurance company regulations. Consumers are advised to employ only competent and reliable workmen as cheap work invariably means bad work. The company advises consumers to entrust their installation work to workers who can be relied upon because cheap work inevitably means poor work. The Company's Engineer will be prepared to advise, free of charge, any intending Consumers with regard to their installation. The company's engineer is prepared to provide advice free of charge to consumers who consult him about their installations. IMPORTANT. — In case of fire, turn off the Main Switch, which will be found near the meter, and communicate with the Electricity Works, Abakhanah (Telephone Baghdad 4141.)

(a) Meters—The Consumer may provide an integrating meter for his premises of a type approved by the Government. Otherwise the Company will supply the meter at a hire charge of 35 fils per month for meters carrying up to 2.5 K.W. and a reasonable charge for larger meters. The cost of repairs to a meter provided by the Consumer shall be paid for by the Consumer. 6 — The Meter: The consumer must provide a complete meter for his premises of the type approved by the Government; otherwise, the Company shall supply the meter for a monthly fee of 35 fils for meters carrying up to two and a half kilowatts, and for large meters a suitable fee shall be collected, and the consumer must bear the cost of repairing the meter provided by him. (b) Accuracy of Meters.—Should any Consumer doubt the accuracy of the hired meter he may, on giving notice to the Company, have the meter officially tested, when, if it is found to be inaccurate beyond the limits of 3 per cent allowed by the Concession, the Company will pay the cost of such test. If the meter is accurate within the limits allowed by the concession, the Consumer must pay the cost. If on any test the meter is found inaccurate a plus or minus adjustment will be made for the period since the last reading. Accuracy of Meters: If a consumer doubts the accuracy of the meter leased to him, he may, after notifying the Company, have the meter officially tested. If it is found inaccurate beyond the 3% limit specified in the Concession, the Company shall bear the cost of that test. If it is found accurate within the limit specified in the Concession, the consumer must bear the cost. If the meter is found inaccurate upon testing, a plus or minus adjustment shall be made for the period calculated from the date of the last meter reading. 7. Payments.— Accounts shall be rendered monthly, and should payment at any time be more than 15 days in arrears, the Company reserve the right, after giving 48 hours' notice in writing, to discontinue the supply of current until the amount owing has been paid together with a fee of 380 fils for reconnecting. In the event of any Consumer wishing to discontinue taking a supply he must give 3 days' notice in writing to the Company and, until the expiration of this notice, he will be responsible for any current consumed on the premises whether he may have ceased to occupy the premises or not. 7 — Payment of Fees: Accounts are presented monthly, and if the payment date is delayed more than 15 days, the Company has the right, after giving a written notice 48 hours in advance, to cut off the electric current until the due amount is paid along with a reconnection fee of 380 fils. If any consumer wishes to cut off the electric current, he must notify the Company in writing three days in advance and remains responsible until the expiration of this notice period for all power consumed, whether he has vacated the premises or not. 8. Energy.—Will be supplied continuously night and day, but the Company will not be responsible for any accidental failure of supply or to force majeure or to circumstances beyond the control of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to interrupt the service during certain hours up to an aggregate of eight hours per month for the purpose of testing the insulation or doing work on the distribution system. The Consumer is liable for damage to the Company's property on his premises whether such damage be due to fire or any other cause other than defects of the Company's property in question. For his own protection the Consumer is advised to include the meter in his Fire Insurance Policy. 8 — Power: It is supplied continuously night and day, however, the Company shall not be responsible for an accidental interruption in the supply of power or due to force majeure or for reasons beyond the Company's control. The Company has the right to cut off the electric current for several hours, provided the total does not exceed eight hours per month, to inspect its insulation or to carry out work on the distribution lines. The consumer shall be responsible for damage to the Company's property located in his premises, whether the damage resulted from fire or any other cause, except for the wear and tear of this property belonging to the Company. To protect the consumer's rights, we advise him to include the meter in his fire insurance policy. 9. Powers to Cut off Supply—Should the insulation resistance of the Consumer's installation at any time fall below that set forth in the Company's Wiring Rules, or should the consumer interfere with any meter, service box, connections, or any of the Company's property, or in any way make use of the supply so as to cause any ill effect or damage to the general public supply, or should any defect be discovered in the wires, fittings, or apparatus within the Consumer's premises, the Company may, after due notice, or in case of emergency without notice, disconnect the premises, and such premises will not be again connected until the defects complained of have been rectified to the satisfaction of the Company, and the Company's testing fee of 380 fils has been paid. 9 — Authority to Cut Off Power: If the resistance of the consumer's wiring falls below the limit specified in the Company's regulations regarding wiring installation, or if the consumer tampers with the meter, the connection box, the wires, or any of the Company's property, or if he uses the power in a way that disrupts or harms the general supply, or if a defect is discovered in the wires, fittings, or devices in the consumer's premises, the Company may, after giving the necessary notice, cut off the current from the premises. It may also cut off the electric current in emergency cases without notice. The current shall not be reconnected to the premises until the complained-of deficiencies are rectified to the Company's satisfaction and after the inspection fee of 380 fils is paid to the Company. 10. Access to Apparatus belonging to the Company—The representatives of the Company shall be allowed, at all reasonable times, to enter Consumer's premises for the purpose of inspecting meters, or any other apparatus belonging to the Company. The Company's officials will produce their authority if required to do so. 10 — Access to Apparatus Belonging to the Company: Company representatives must be allowed to enter the consumer's premises at all appropriate and necessary times to inspect meters or any other apparatus belonging to the Company. Company employees must produce their authorization permit if requested to do so.
11 - Balancing: When the load of one of the installations is more than 20 amperes on a continuous current, the wiring must be of two separate circuits, equal as far as possible, and when the load is more than 20 amperes on an alternating current, there must be three such circuits for the wiring, provided that each circuit returns independently to the meter point. 11. Balancing.—Where the connected load of an installation is more than 20 amperes on direct current supply, the wiring must be on two separate and as far as possible equal circuits. When the connections are higher than 20 amperes on alternating current supply, there must be three such circuits. Each circuit is to be carried back independently to the metering point. 12 - General Conditions: If a meter stops recording, the account shall be settled according to the amount collected for that same period of the previous year, and the meter rental fee shall not be paid for the period of stoppage. If the stoppage occurs during the first year of power supply, the account shall be settled according to the fee previously collected. 12 General—If a meter shall have stopped recording, the adjustment of the account shall be, based on the amounts of the corresponding pay- ment period of the previous year and the hire charge for the meter shall not be payable during the period of such stoppage. If the stoppage occurred during the first year of supply the adjustment shall be based on the previous pay- ment period. If the concessionaire and the consumer disagree on the accuracy of the meter or on the expenses incurred for testing the meter or operating the meter, the matter shall be referred to the Government, and its decision in that regard shall be considered final.
