Deposits

The amount of deposit required will be determined by the applicants' credit rating as determined by the Online Utility Exchange, other regional or national credit verification service. The cooperative will require proof of identification including a social security number, phone number, and physical address for the purpose of determining the proper credit rating of the applying member. In the event that an applying member refuses to provide the cooperative with the applicable proof of identification, then the Maximum Risk deposit will be required before service is provided. The applying member may opt to enter into a pre-pay agreement with the Cooperative, which eliminates the need for a credit check or deposit. Deposits may be refunded to member upon 12 months satisfactory payment history with the Cooperative.
