Section 480-80-010 - Application of rules
(1) The rules in this chapter apply to any public service company that is subject to the jurisdiction of the commission as to rates and services under the provisions of Title 80 RCW.
(2) The tariffs and contracts filed by public service companies must conform with these rules. If the commission accepts a tariff or contract that conflicts with these rules, the acceptance does not constitute a waiver of these rules unless the commission specifically approves the variation consistent with WAC 480-80-015 (Exemptions from rules in chapter 480-80 WAC). Tariffs or contracts that conflict with these rules without approval are superseded by these rules.
(3) Any affected person may ask the commission to review the interpretation of these rules by a public service company or customer by posing an informal complaint under WAC 480-07-910 (Informal complaints), or by filing a formal complaint under WAC 480-07-370 (Pleadings -- General).
(4) No deviation from these rules is permitted without written authorization by the commission. Violations will be subject to penalties as provided by law.
(5) Any tariff or contract on file and in effect or pending on the effective date of these rules is not required to be refiled to comply with these rules.
