Abstract:
The layer was created to visually represent, as accurately as possible, the electric service territories served by the regulated electric service providers in the state of Indiana, pursuant to Cause Number 42868 (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission) to establish an online GIS mapping environment to house, edit, and display visual interpretations or electric service territory rulings filed before and ruled by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The data represented in this layer is strictly a visual aide and a best interpretation of the legally approved Electric Service Territories as ruled by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). These data are not legally binding or necessarily fully representative of the legal rulings.

Purpose:
The layer was created to visually represent, as accurately as possible, the electric service territories served by the regulated electric service providers in the state of Indiana, pursuant to Cause Number 42868 (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission) to establish an online GIS mapping environment to house, edit, and display visual interpretations or electric service territory rulings filed before and ruled by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The data represented in this layer is strictly a visual aide and a best interpretation of the legally approved Electric Service Territories as ruled by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). These data are not legally binding or necessarily fully representative of the legal rulings.

The following is excerpted from metadata provided by the IURC:

"IN THE MATTER OF THE JOINT PETITION OF ELECTRICITY SUPPLIERS FOR (1) THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PROCEDURES TO APPROVE SERVICE AREA BOUNDARY AGREEMENTS UNDER IC 8-1-2.3-6(2) AND SERVICE CONSENTS UNDER IC 8-1-2.3-4(A), AND (2) MODIFICATION OF THE FORM AND MAINTENANCE OF MAPS OF ASSIGNED SERVICE AREAS ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO IC 8-1-2.3-1, ET SEQ.
