Disconnect Policy and Fees


Lake Region Electric Cooperative’s Board and Management strive to offer LREC members the best possible service at the lowest possible cost. Each year, thousands of dollars are spent on collections of past due electric bills and disconnected accounts. In an effort to bring collection costs to a minimum, the following is Lake Region’s disconnect policy and to the right in the gray box is a list of standard fees.


Each residential member receives their bill on one of the four billing cycles and the payments are due upon receipt and become delinquent 21 days after receiving their bill. Billing due dates for the four billing cycles are on the 1st, 5th, 12th and 19th of each month. If payments are not received, members will be mailed a delinquent notice. Courtesy phone calls are made to the member the night before they are scheduled to be disconnected to remind them their bill is not paid. Should the account remain unpaid the electric service will be subject to disconnect without further notice. Due to safety reasons, service personnel will not accept payment at the door and services will be disconnected.


Reconnection of a disconnected meter may be completed during regular business hours after the bill and associated fees are paid in full. The fees will consist of a $50.00 reconnect fee plus the late bill, penalty fee and usage up to the disconnect date. Reconnection of a disconnected meter may be done after regular business hours once the bill and associated fees are paid in full. The fees for after- hours reconnects will consist of a $150.00 reconnect fee plus the late bill, penalty fee and usage up to the disconnect date. (No partial payment will be accepted for after hour reconnects) In some cases, the member will be required to pay a new deposit or have the option to switch to the pre-paid billing program. To avoid possible disconnection of your electric service, in the event you are unable to pay your bill, you  to make payment arrangements before your electric service is disconnected. Each member is allowed no more than two consecutive months to make a payment arrangement.
