Late Payments and Collections

All electric bills are issued on the 20th of each month and are due and payable by the end of the month. If not paid or postmarked before the 1st of the following month, a late charge of the greater of $2.00 or 1.5 % of the monthly balance will be added.

If the bill is not paid by the due date shown on the bill shall become a delinquent bill.  A REMINDER/FINAL NOTICE message will print on the following month's bill. Failure to pay a delinquent bill, by specified date on the final notice, may result in disconnection of service. If a member cannot pay a delinquent bill, he/she shall notify the Cooperative immediately. We will attempt to work out a payment plan or explain other forms of public assistance. Failure to agree on a suitable payment plan or qualify for public assistance may result in disconnection of service.

If it becomes necessary to make a collection call at the member's home during regular working hours, a collection charge of $75 for the first meter and $75 for each additional meter will be added to the amount due.

If the collection trip results in the disconnection of the electric service, another $75 fee for each meter is charged to have the service reconnected during working hours or $150 per meter after working hours (3:30 p.m.).
