Each energy utility, large telecommunications utility, and intrastate toll service provider must have and maintain its entire plant and system in such condition that it will furnish safe, adequate, and reasonably continuous service. Each energy utility, large telecommunications utility, and intrastate toll service provider must inspect its plant distribution system and facilities in such manner, and with such frequency, as may be needed to ensure a reasonably complete knowledge about its condition and adequacy at all times. Each energy utility, large telecommunications utility, and intrastate toll service provider must keep such records of the conditions found as the utility considers necessary to properly maintain its system, unless in special cases the Commission specifies a more complete record.
