Policy - What is Cumberland Valley Electric's policy on Cut-Off?

Cumberland Valley Electric retains the right to cut-off the electric service of any member with an unpaid balance after the 27th of every month.

General - When is the disconnect notice sent out?

If Cumberland Valley Electric does not receive full payment on an account by the 15th of each month we then send out disconnect notices. If a member receives a disconnect notice they need to pay the remaining balance on their account by the 27th to avoid their electric service from being disconnected.

General – Does Cumberland Valley have a budget plan available? If so, how and when can you get on it?

Yes, Cumberland Valley Electric does offer a budget plan to qualified members.

Applications are accepted in July. In order to qualify, you must have been a member in good standing with at least twelve (12) months of history on the account you want to add to the budget plan so that the budget payments can be calculated.

The July bill is the “catch-up” bill, during which the budget amount of usage is compared to the actual usage for the previous year. Any extra usage over the amount budgeted is added to the July bill, while any over payment for less usage than the budgeted amount appears as a credit.

General – What happens if I am unable to pay my bill by the 15th (Late Payment)?

Cumberland Valley Electric assesses a 5% penalty to the current balance on a members account on the 15th of each month.

General – What is the cost of becoming a Cumberland Valley Electric member?

If you are a new member with Cumberland Valley Electric we charge a $25.00 membership fee.

You may call us at 1-800-513-2677 and ask to speak with consumer records to have the change processed over the phone.

General – What should I do first before digging in an area with power lines?

Underground electric wire can pose a danger to those who are digging near them. Please contact our office before you dig in an area where there could potentially be underground wires.

Service Rules and Regulations – Can I charge my deposit upon opening a new service?

Cumberland Valley Electric does not allow members setting up new service to charge their deposit to their account. The deposit must be paid in full before new service will be turned on.

General – How many electric accounts can I have using eBill?

You can have as many electric accounts associated with your eBill email account and password as you have electric accounts, provided that all the accounts are under the same name. We do allow multiple accounts under different names to added to the same email account and password for eBill, but doing so requires the assistance of one of our customer service representatives and the permission of the named account holder. We provide this ability chiefly so that owners can view the electric bills of their rental properties without having to have the account in their name or so that family members can assist in the payment and tracking of electric bills of infirm or traveling relatives.

General – What do I need to bring to the office when setting up new service?

To open a new service with Cumberland Valley Electric you need the following items:

  • 2 forms of identification one of which must be a photo ID, social security cards are a preferred form of identification
  • 7 digit meter number (if service already exists)
  • Nearest neighbor (for those with new construction)
  • Deposit (deposit is calculated as 2/12 of the average annual bill at each location) You may call ahead with the meter number to find out the deposit for your location.
  • Membership fee of $25.00 (unless you are already a member with an account in good standing)

General – How do I add additional accounts to view or pay online?

There are two ways to add additional accounts to your eBill account. The first method is to click on the “Click here to sign up for online account access” hyperlink located under the username and password prompts on the eBill log in page. You can then add an additional account as if you were signing up for eBill for the first time. Simply use your existing email account and password to have the new account numbers added to your existing account. In some rare cases, this method may not work due to inconsistencies in address information in our records, in which case you may find it necessary to call the office at 1-800-513-2677.

You may also call the office and ask for the additional accounts to be added by a Customer Service Representative.
