				  and for whom there is a recent payment history.
(2) New residential customer is an applicant
				  for electric service to a dwelling unit which such customer uses for his
				  residential purposes and where business rates do not apply to the service, and
				  who does not qualify as an existing residential customer.
(3) Delinquent in payment means, unless a
				  more liberal standard is adopted by the utility, that a residential customer
				  has not paid in full a duly rendered bill, or an agreed-upon partial payment,
				  for electric service 25 days after the "to date" of the bill or within a longer
				  period agreed to by the utility. A residential customer who has not paid in

				  any of such corporation's agents; provided, however, that if payment is mailed
				  to such corporation or its agents, payment shall be considered accomplished as
				  of the mailing by the consumer.
