Disconnection Policy

Washington Electric Cooperative reserves the right to discontinue service to any member without notice for:

  • Disapproval of member's equipment or installation due to defects or hazardous conditions
  • Repairs or emergency operations
  • Unavoidable shortage or interruption of Washington Electric's source of supply
  • Upon termination of service and vacating the premises by the consumer
  • Any tampering with service wires, meter, seal, or other facilities belonging to Washington Electric

 

Washington Electric Cooperative reserves the right to discontinue service with reasonable notice for:

  • Fraudulent representation as to the use of electric service
  • Failure or refusal to execute an application for service
  • Nonpayment of expenses, losses, and/or damages resulting from tampering with cooperative property
  • Nonpayment of required security deposit
  • Nonpayment of monthly bill
  • Failure to comply with deferred payment agreement
  • Refusal to allow a cooperative employee or authorized agent reasonable access to cooperative property for the purposes of inspecting, testing, reading, maintaining, or removing
  • Use of equipment that adversely affects the cooperative’s system or service to any of its other members
  • Discovery of resale of electricity or sharing of service to circumvent the requirement of a separate service

 

Disconnection of Service for Non-Payment:

If your service was terminated for nonpayment, you may reestablish service by bringing your account current. You must also pay a $25 reconnection fee, plus a security deposit if applicable. Payment must be made in full. We will not accept or extend payment arrangements after a service has been disconnected.

 

Checks are not accepted as payment for disconnected service. Payment must be made with cash, credit/debit card, or money order.

 

To guarantee reconnection on the same day, payment must be received by 3 p.m. that day. Absolutely no service will be reconnected after hours if disconnected for nonpayment.
