COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTING
Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) is now available at the cooperative office.
As prices for just about everything seem to keep going up, a CFL will help bring down the amount spent on the monthly electric bill.
Although more expensive than a traditional bulb, between the energy savings and the longer life expectancy, CFLs pay for themselves over and over. They use two-thirds less energy to produce the same amount of light and last 10 times longer.

Every year when we check our meters we
find there are some meters that we don't
have access to. For safety purposes, we
must have access to every meter on the system.
If the meter at your location for one
reason or another is not accessible to Co-op
personnel, please call and let us help you to
determine the easiest way to move it. If
your location is on the list to have meters
checked and we can't get to it, you will be
receiving a letter on this matter.
