Disconnection of Service

When a member receiving electrical service under the residential rate tariff requests disconnection of service, the member shall notify the office at least three (3) days in advance of the day disconnection is desired.  The member shall remain responsible for all service used and the billings therefore until service is disconnected pursuant to such notification.  However, the Jasper County REMC (REMC) must disconnect service within three (3) working days of the requested disconnection date and the member shall not be liable for any service rendered after the expiration of three (3) such days.

The REMC may disconnect service without the member's request and without prior notice only:

-If a condition dangerous or hazardous to life, physical safety
  or property exists; or
        
-Upon order by any court, the IURC or other duly authorized
  public authority; or

-If fraudulent or unauthorized use of electricity is detected and
  the REMC has reasonable grounds to believe the affected member
  is responsible for such use; or

-If the REMC's regulating or measuring equipment has been
  tampered with and the REMC has reasonable grounds to believe
  that the affected member is responsible for such tampering.
