Miscellaneous electric loads such as general lighting, laundry rooms, general maintenance, and other similar use incidental to the operation of the premises as a multi- family accommodation will be considered domestic use.

The City of Lodi Finance Department will notify the master-metered Customer of the tenant’s certification. Certification will be required to determine income eligibilityfor the SHARE program. Sub- metered tenants of the master metered City of Lodi Customer must sign a statement upon application indicating that the City of Lodi may verify the sub-metered tenant’s eligibility at any time. The master-metered Customer, not the City of Lodi, is responsible for extending the SHARE program to tenants certified to receive them.
