				  rate book shall include a list of the cities, villages, townships, and counties
				  receiving services controlled by the rate book. If available, a map of the
				  territory served shall also be included (on 8-1/2 by 11-inch page(s).
(5) Index of cities, villages, townships, and
				  counties served and applicable rate schedules. If the utility rates vary by
				  location within the utility's service territory, then each utility rate book
				  shall contain an index showing the cities, villages, townships, and counties
				  served and the rate schedules that apply to each. If the utility rate schedules
				  are uniform throughout the utility's service territory and each rate schedule
				  clearly indicates that uniformity, this section may be omitted.
(6) Technical terms and abbreviations. Each
				  rate book shall include a glossary giving complete concise definitions of terms
