About Your bill

Walton EMC bills its members on a monthly basis. The co-op's service area is divided into billing cycles and each member's meter is read approximately every 30 days. Differences in cycle length may be due to weather, work load or other factors.

Walton EMC appreciates your efforts in keeping a clear path to the electric meter. Please move obstructions and objects away from your meter. Make sure we have access to locked gates so you can avoid estimated bills. Don't plant shrubs in front of meters. Keep dogs at bay. When you help, our meter readers become more efficient and costs go down.

How to read your electric meter

Online: You can pay your bill over the internet. Click here.

In Person: at any WEMC office,The National Bank of Walton County (Monroe and Loganville) and Georgia Central Bank (Monroe and Social Circle).

By Mail: P.O. Box 1347, Monroe, GA, 30655. To ensure credit when paying by mail, please write your account number on the check and include the bottom part of the bill.

By Draft: WEMC can draft your bank account when the bill is due for "no-hassle" paying. You will still receive a statement of your account. Call for details.

Your WEMC bill is due 21 days from the billing date. If the due date falls on a day other than a regular work day, the bill is due on the next regular working day.

Accounts not paid by the time of the next bill will have a late fee added to the account balance equal to the greater of five percent of the arrears amount or $15. If the arrears amount remains unpaid after getting the next month's bill, the account is subject to field collection (with a $10 collection fee) or disconnection.

You will have at least 45 days from billing to disconnection. Failure to receive an electric statement does not release you from your obligation to pay.

Want to get rid of the seasonal peaks and valleys of your electric billing? Levelized billing can help. On this program, you pay a more level amount during the entire year. Because of the rolling twelve month average, you don't have to "divvy up" at the end of the year, either. Call for details.

 Bank Draft

If you sign-up for Bank Draft, the bank will automatically deduct the amount of your electric bill from your bank account on its due date. Walton EMC will send your electric statement to your home each month so you can keep up with your energy use. You don't have to lift a finger. Let Walton EMC and the bank pay your electric bill. Contact Walton EMC for more details.

Qualifying members certified by WEMC will be eligible for a $4 discount on the monthly service charge. You must be at least 65 with a total household income of $15,000 or less per year. The account must serve the member's principal residence, be individually metered and in the applying member's name.

Through Operation Round Up, your monthly electric bill is "rounded" up to the next dollar. The extra change goes to a fund administered by the Walton EMC Trust, a non-profit (501(c)3) organization, to help worthy causes in our community. Your donation is tax-deductible.

Any administrative costs are absorbed by Walton EMC, so 100 percent of your donation goes to make life better. Funds could go for a variety of projects, including purchasing emergency medical equipment, providing hot meals for the elderly, assistance for those in dire circumstances (house burned, etc.) or other needs in our community.

Project Share, in cooperation with the Salvation Army, helps with energy-related needs of low income, handicapped and elderly Georgians who find themselves in crisis situations. Donations are used in the county collected. Walton EMC members may participate by choosing to add $1, $2 or $5 to their monthly bill or by a one-time donation directly to the Salvation Army.
