Section 124(8), a location within the City of San Leandro. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "access line," does not include any connection from a customer location within the City to a provider of local telephone service when for any reason a customer cannot use, or as demonstrated by the customer to the City's satisfaction the customer does not use for purposes of two-way voice telephony, that connection to dial the digits 9-1-1 to reach the 911 communication system within the City at an answering point within the City.
