CAEC offers our new Member’s choices on how you would like to be billed:
Prepay Billing – Avoid the deposit (if required) by selecting Prepay billing. Prepay allows you to monitor and check your consumption on a daily basis to better manage your usage. Receive notifications through text, email or by phone concerning your daily or low balance amounts. Payments can be made using our automated payments over the phone or pay your bills through the internet. Either way you have the convenience of having 24-hour access to these payment methods. There are no delinquent fees associated with Prepay.
Monthly Billing – The deposit is $500* (if required). CAEC reads the meter each month and within three to four days after the reading has been posted to your account, a bill is mailed to you. After 15 days if your bill has not been paid, a 5% penalty will be added to your account. Payments can be made using our automated payment system over the phone or pay your bill through the internet via our website. Either way you have the convenience of having 24-hour access to these payment methods.
