Unauthorized Meter Entry Fee (Meter Entry Without Prior Authorization)

The electric meter is the sole property of Lane Electric Cooperative and may not be tampered with or removed by anyone other than Lane Electric personnel. If a meter seal needs to be removed for an electrician to perform some work, permission must be obtained before any work begins. Unauthorized entry by any party, including a licensed electrician, will result in the member being charged a $500 unauthorized meter entry fee. It is also the member’s responsibility to report broken meter glass or cut meter seals to the cooperative immediately.
