Past Due Payments

All Benton REA bills for products and services are due and payable upon receipt and become past due if not paid by the 20th day of the month. A late penalty of 1% or $5.00, whichever is greater per month, will be charged to the account if payment of the past due amount is not received before the next bill date.

Disconnection of Electric Service: Electric service will be subject to disconnection for those accounts that have energy charges due that have gone past the current billing month. Any other previous unpaid balances will also subject your account to disconnection.

Re-connection: If an account is disconnected for non-payment, re-connection will be made following payment in full of all account balances due to Benton REA including; collection fees, costs associated with notices, security deposits, pre-payments or required guarantees. A minimum charge of $50 will be made to reconnect service if arrangements are made on weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. If the request for re-connection of service is made weekdays after 3 p.m., weekends, or holidays the charge will be a minimum of $300.
