Reminders
When adding on to a building, please do not enclose the meter.
When building a fence, please do not block our access to the meter.
If a meter becomes inaccessible to Big Bend Electric Cooperative, you will need to relocate the meter to an accessible location at your expense. Please see the Service & Meter Requirements Handbook (PDF) for more information.
