Members with metered security lights could see service charge on bills As you are well aware, supply chain issues are impacting most areas of our lives. Unfortunately, security lights are no different. We are no longer able to purchase the same high-quality, high-pressure sodium security lights we have been installing at members’ homes and businesses for decades. To ensure we are being good stewards of our members’ dollars, we decided to instead purchase and install more reliable, long-lasting LED security lights. Although these lights are more energy efficient, the cost of the light itself is significantly higher than our traditional sodium lights. As a result, a $4.90 monthly service charge will be added to the bill of those with LED security lights on their property where the security light usage is metered. While the end cost is not any greater, those with LED metered lights will notice this new line item on their bills. [1625101] Currently, this change does not affect many members and will only affect those whose security light usage is metered. Please give us a call at 800-328-2368 if you have any questions regarding security lights.
