owning or operating a retail electric distribution system or the

however, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to

prohibit system maintenance, repairs or upgrades to such primary

distribution feeder system outside the corporate limits except that

secondary service drops shall not be upgraded to primary

distribution lines.
