Deposit Policy:
A consumer deposit may be required of all new applicants for service in an amount not to exceed one-sixth (1/6) of the estimated annual billing. An additional deposit may be required of an existing member, if the member has more than one occasion during months of service in which a bill for utility service was paid after becoming delinquent or if the member’s service was disconnected for non-payment. This amount shall not exceed one-sixth (1/6) of the estimated annual billing.
The amount of the deposit will be calculated using the historical usage of the location being connected. In those cases where no history is available, the amount of deposit will be calculated using load information on the new location or information from like services on the Cooperative system. All deposits will accrue interest at a rate as set by the Cooperative each year.
When the member has paid the bill for service for at least twelve (12) consecutive residential billings or for twenty-four (24) consecutive commercial or industrial billings without having service disconnected for nonpayment of bill and without having more than two (2) occasions in which a bill was delinquent, and when the member is not delinquent in the payment of the current bill, the Cooperative will automatically refund the deposit plus accrued interest to the member in the form of cash or credit to the member’s bill.
Delinquent Account Fee:
The Cooperative may assess a one-time charge not to exceed five percent (5%) on each delinquent bill.
