Billing is done on a monthly basis for all consumers. Monthly bills are mailed out to members around the 5th of each month. Payment is due by the 20th of the same month. A penalty charge of 5% is added to all accounts for payments received after the 20th of each month.
Your meter automatically collects KWH readings and sends them to the office. Your meter also keeps track of daily KWH usage, voltage levels, blinks and outage data.
