What charges can I expect if my account is disconnected for non-payment?

Accounts that have been disconnected for non-payment are subject to the following charges:

• Reconnection fee.  
  
  • The reconnection fee is $30 and must be paid along with the past due amount.
    
• Additional Deposit.
  
  • The account will be reviewed to determine if an additional deposit is needed.  The deposit amount will range from $250 up to two times your highest electric bill.  To avoid the deposit charge, you can convert your account to a prepaid account.

These fees are not applicable on prepaid accounts.
