Following disconnection, the Cooperative will promptly and automatically refund deposits plus accrued interest, or the balance, if any, in excess of the unpaid bills for service furnished.
When a member has paid for service for 12 consecutive residential bills or for 24 consecutive commercial or industrial bills without service being disconnected for nonpayment and without more than 2 delinquent bills, and is not delinquent in the payment of current bills, the Cooperative will refund the deposit plus accrued interest in the form of a credit to the member’s bill.
Subject to the above provisions, deposits may be held for the term of service as rendered necessary by the Cooperative.
