Q. If my power was disconnected because the account was delinquent, what would I have to pay to have my power restored?

If your power was disconnected for nonpayment, you would need to pay your past due amount and a reconnection fee, which presently is $65.00 during normal working hours and $105.00 after hours.  You may also be required to pay a meter deposit calculated by adding the two highest consecutive months of billing together.  This meter deposit would be held by the company for 12 months.  Once 12 months goes by without any late payments  on your account, you will receive your deposit back plus interest.

Q. What is the difference between a year round customer and a seasonal customer?

A "Year Round" customer is one who lives in the residence 12 months out of the year. A seasonal customer is defined as "one who uses electricity seven months or less during each year". Seasonal customers will have their meters read and shall be billed three times a year. The seasonal customer billing will occur in May, July and September; or June, August and October; as defined by the utility." Both the "Year Round" and the "Seasonal" customer pay the same monthly fixed charge and the same kWh charge. The only difference is when the meters are read and billed.
