Payment Options

Automatic Bank Draft Payments:
You can pay your electric bill without writing a check by authorizing us to electronically charge your bank account for the bill amount each month. Under this program, you will continue to receive a statement so that you will know how much is being drafted from your account. Your account will be drafted nine (9) days from the billed date. To make this service more useful, it can be combined with Levelized Billing.

Payment Drop Boxes:
You can make your monthly electric bill payment by dropping it in one of our convenient boxes located in your neighborhood. A few simple guidelines must be followed when using the payment drop boxes:

• Checks only.
• Include your bill statement.
• Use the Drop Box PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE.
  Late payments placed in the drop box will not prevent late penalties or interruption of service.
• Dates of pickup are posted at each location.
• Drop box locations are:
• o Pioneer Shell, Clewiston
  
  o Buttonwood Bay, Sebring
  
  o Mary Lou’s Store, Montura
