Town ordinances require the payment of a $350 deposit to begin residential utility service and a $500 deposit to begin commercial utility service. Property owners residing in their own homes may have the deposit refunded after 12 months if timely payments have been made. Renters are required to maintain a deposit as long as they rent. Property owners of rental properties are also required to maintain a permanent deposit with the town. We do not accept credit references in lieu of a deposit.
Electric charges are based on a monthly service fee of $15.50/$18.50/$26.50/$33.50 depending on type of service and then billed at 15 cents per kilowatt. Meters are read around the 20th of each month and bills are mailed by the 25th of the month.
