Standard Billing
Power is used and then billed the following month. A credit check is performed to determine if a deposit is required. If deposit is required it will be 2 or 3 times the monthly average at the service location. If the account becomes past due or is disconnected for nonpayment, late, disconnect and reconnect charges apply.
Payment Due Date - The payment due date will be the 20th day after the bill date as referenced on your bill.
Past Due Payments - Your account will be considered past due if your payment is not received before your next billing statement is processed. Accounts that are past due will be charged a late fee of 1.5% or $5.00, whichever is greater.
Five past dues within the past twelve months and a disconnect notice for non-payment, or an actual disconnect, will require an up-to-date security deposit which will be added to the past due amount.
