Terms of Payment.
Monthly bills are payable upon receipt each month, and are due no

business 16 days from the date of mailing, the bill becomes past due.

For member read meters, an estimated meter reading will be used for
computing monthly bills when actual meter reading is not received
from the Consumer by the 20th of the billing month. Failure on the
part of the Consumer to furnish a meter reading for three consecutive
months will authorized the Cooperative to read the meter and include
a trip fee on the Consumer's bill for the month.
For qualifying Consumers, a level payment plan is available. See
§309.0.
