Nonstandard Metering Service

For more than a decade, CoServ has deployed high-tech Standard Meters that use radio frequency technology to send usage information to CoServ headquarters. These meters meet all Federal Communications Commission guidelines.

Here are a few of the benefits for Members:

 Convenient, secure online payment options

 Access to usage information

 Paperless billing

 Account notifications

Because these meters send usage information electronically, there is no need for a meter reader to read each meter manually throughout CoServ’s rapidly growing service area.

CoServ Members do have the option of opting out of having an AMI Standard Meter if they choose. A one-time fee of $138 will be charged to cover the cost of installing a nonstandard meter. This meter lacks radio frequency technology and is not able to send electric usage readings to CoServ. Because of this, CoServ will have to send a meter reader each month, resulting in a monthly fee of $25.

Here is the process for opting out of the standard meter in favor of a nonstandard meter.

Nonstandard Meter Fees

  • One-time, non-refundable nonstandard meter fee
    • $138 Single-phase meter (most residents)
    • $437.50 for three-phase meters
  • $25/month meter-read fee to recoup costs for the meter reader
