     3  vision 1-a is added to read as follows:
     4    1. A utility corporation or municipality may, in accordance with  such
     5  requirements as the commission may impose by regulation, render an esti-
     6  mated  bill  for  any  billing period if: (a) the procedure used by such
     7  utility  or  municipality  for  calculating  estimated  bills  has  been
     8  approved  by  the  commission, and the bill clearly indicates that it is
     9  based on an estimated reading and (b) the utility owning the  meter  and

    16  sion for a billing period between periods when actual meter readings are
    17  scheduled  or  for  seasonal  or  short term customers.   Outside of the
