Whenever the commission, upon its own motion or upon complaint as provided
in KRS 278.260, and after a hearing had upon reasonable notice, finds that the
rules, regulations, practices, equipment, appliances, facilities or service of any
utility subject to its jurisdiction, or the method of manufacture, distribution,
transmission, storage or supply employed by such utility, are unjust,
unreasonable, unsafe, improper, inadequate or insufficient, the commission
shall determine the just, reasonable, safe, proper, adequate or sufficient rules,
regulations, practices, equipment, appliances, facilities, service or methods to
be observed, furnished, constructed, enforced or employed, and shall fix the
same by its order, rule or regulation.
The commission shall prescribe rules for the performance of any service or the
furnishing of any commodity of the character furnished or supplied by the utility,
and, on proper demand and tender of rates, the utility shall furnish the
commodity or render the service within the time and upon the conditions
provided in the rules.
Any person or group of persons may come before the commission and by
petition ask that any utility subject to its jurisdiction be compelled to make any
reasonable extension. The commission shall hear and determine the
reasonableness of the extension, and sustain or deny the petition in whole or in
part.
