Warren Electric Cooperative relies on self-reported meter readings. The readings can be put on the stub of the monthly bill, called into the office or submitted electronically through SmartHub. The meter can be read anytime after the bill is received but must be in the office no later than the 20th of the month. If you do not furnish a meter reading for three consecutive months, the Cooperative will read your meter and bill you a $30.00 meter reading fee.
The bills are sent around the 28th of the month and are due on or before the 15th of the following month. If the bills are paid after the 15th of the month, the gross bill will be due.
A $100.00 consumer deposit will be collected from all new members. If a member can obtain a good credit reference from a prior electric utility or from the Equifax service the deposit may be waived or reduced. Any member who has been disconnected for non-payment will be required to carry a $150.00 consumer deposit. Deposits will be applied against the final bill and any left over amount will be refunded.
Bills that remain unpaid are sent one delinquent notice at the beginning of the following month.
