(1) order that the use be permitted;

(2) prescribe reasonable conditions and compensation for the joint use;

(3) order the interconnection to be made;

(4) determine the time and manner of the interconnection;

(5) determine the apportionment of costs and responsibility for operation and maintenance of the interconnection.
