Managing Your Account

In order to best serve you, it's important your account information is up-to-date.  With correct phone numbers, billing address, and e-mail addresses on file we are able to communicate with you in the event of planned or unplanned outages or about other cooperative related matters.

Individuals who are responsible for the account are recorded in our system and we cannot provide information to anyone whose name is not listed on the account.  For example, if the account is only in the wife's name, we cannot give the amount due to the husband if his name is not on the account.

When contacting the Cooperative to discuss your account, be sure to have your account number ready if you are an existing member.

MyChoice PrePay Program

The MyChoice prepay program is a flexible payment option that allows you, as a member, to prepay your electric account; eliminating set due dates, deposits, late fees and reconnect fees.  The program is available to all residential members with a single-phase meter capable of remote disconnect/reconnect unless they have a medical condition requiring continuous electric service or they prefer to participate in other programs that do not coincide with prepayment.
