The Cooperative does not want consumers to be without service.

To avoid disconnection and termination of service, consumers having difficulty paying electric bills must contact the Cooperative prior to the date of service termination and make mutually acceptable arrangements.

Payment plans shall be designed to bring the account up to date no later than 6 months from the date of the agreement.

The Cooperative shall also provide consumers with information as to any known assistance programs where help might be obtained.
