A levelized billing plan is available to members who qualify. Under this levelized billing plan, the member's actual monthly bill will be computed in accordance with the applicable rate schedule, and the member's account will be debited with that amount.
The net amount payable each month will be determined by the Cooperative. The Cooperative will calculate the levelized billing amount based on a twelve-month history of the account if available. When billing history is not representative of anticipated future billings, or there is no history available, the Cooperative may estimate the levelized amount based on the average of the member class.
Billing under the levelized billing plan may be automatically terminated upon suspension of service. Any amounts owed for service billed under this plan shall be due as any other final bill for service. Any amounts overpaid for service billed under this plan shall be refunded to the member.
A member may withdraw from the plan at any time. The member shall have the option of paying the account balance, if any, in full, or, if qualified, under a delayed payment arrangement. The Cooperative may charge a Commission-approved fee if a member withdraws from the plan more than once in 12 months. The amount of the fee is set forth in the Cooperative's schedule of charges related to member activity.
