-
Dial 211 (toll free, statewide, 24 hours, 7 days a week) for a listing of organizations that will provide assistance. Outside of Kansas (or in areas where 211 is unavailable), call 1-888-413-4327. You will need to enter your location, language spoken and "Utility Assistance".

The bill will say "Do not pay. Your account will be drafted on the due date."

Budget Payment Plan
Members may experience seasonal fluctuations in electric use throughout the year. This change in electric use may create a budgeting problem for some members. The Budget Payment Plan allows a residential member to pay a set amount each month August through June. The amount is calculated based upon their previous twelve (12) months of consumption. The account will be "trued up" to actual usage annually in July. The Budget Billing Plan DOES bill the member for actual consumption.
To be eligible, a residential member must have made 12 consecutive on time payments in a row at the present location and their account MUST be current.
Please call the office to learn more or apply for the Budget Bill Plan.
