Reconnection Fees and Additional Deposit Requirements

Past due accounts paid after service has been disconnected must pay an additional $30.00 reconnection fee if reset between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on a regular Cooperative work day or a $50.00 reconnection fee if reset on weekends, holidays, or between 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

No meter will be reset after 10:00 p.m.

Members whose accounts have been pulled for nonpayment of a past due bill must also pay an additional deposit equal to the next deposit level (if an existing deposit is $10, the deposit must be increased to $150; if an existing deposit is $150, the deposit must be increased to $300). Once the member has reached the $300 deposit level, no additional deposits will be required unless necessary for special circumstances by the Cooperative. Special circumstances include, but are not limited to, accounts with very high usage or accounts with problematic payment history, returned checks, etc.

These reconnection fees and additional deposits must be paid before the electrical service is restored and the member's account is reactivated.

Suppose a member has more than one account. In that case, the Cooperative reserves the right to transfer unpaid balances from a member's inactive account to his/her active account if not paid within 30 days from the date of disconnection of service.
