Payments No Longer Accepted in Field: Ways to Pay

Posted on May 30, 2018 at 12:00 AM


Each month, members are sent a bill, or e-bill, letting them know when their payment for electric service is due. If your account is past due, you are sent a reminder notice by mail or email and a courtesy phone call to the phone numbers we have on your account. While the majority of members pay on time each month, some members wait until the lineman shows up to disconnect their power to pay their bill. 

For the safety of our employees, and the efficiency of the cooperative, our personnel will no longer take  payments in the field. We encourage members to take advantage of the many ways to pay an electric bill listed below. Visit www.tri-countyemc.com/billingoptions.cms to learn more.

Disconnect/Reconnect Policy
• If payment is not received by the disconnect date on the reminder notice, electric service will be subject to disconnection without further notice. 

• All members whose service has been disconnected for failure to pay will be subject to pay an additional security deposit. To be reconnected, the member will be responsible for paying the additional security deposit, the past due amount and a service charge in order to be reconnected. 

• Service calls to restore service to accounts disconnected for nonpayment will only be made on Monday – Friday, 8 AM – 8 PM.
