Volume 70 • Number 9 • september 2011 What to do if Your Power Goes Off
1. Check your fuses or circuit breakers. Every service is different. You may have fuses or circuit breakers in your house, on the side of your house, under your meter, or all three places. Check to see if your neighbors have electricity.
2. Call the Co-op at 371-2584, or 1-800-870- 5948 if the call is long distance for you. Have your account number, name as it appears on the account, and address handy to give to the dispatcher. If you should get a recording, please don’t hang up; leave your information. It will be retrieved and given to the correct department. Every message is answered.
It’s HOT!
Two feet of snow in February to triple-digit heat in July. The weather in Oklahoma is always changing, but this year’s weather has gone from one record-breaking extreme to another record-breaking extreme. In July we endured consecutive days of temperatures above 100 degrees; several of those days were 110 degrees. Trying to stay comfortable in that heat caused cooling
systems to work overtime. That usage is going to appear on monthly electric bills. If you feel you are going to have difficulty
paying your electric bill, please call our consumer service representatives to discuss making payment arrangements. “Temperatures that high can be life-threatening,” says Lori Prock, VVEC billing coordinator. “We certainly don’t want any of our members to risk their lives to keep from increasing their electric usage. So if members feel they may have trouble paying their electric bills we want them to call us before the bill becomes delinquent.” Prock adds members who are enrolled in the
average monthly payment plan are being notified their monthly budgeted amounts are increasing until their usage returns to a more normal amount. Customer service representatives are available from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at 918-371-2584.
