July 2022 Newsletter
Dear valued member,

A hot and windy June turned into a wet and lightning-heavy July. We've seen more outages than usual lately due to heavy rains and lightning strikes. When outages hit, we keep you informed via text and email, so make sure your contact information is up-to-date. Here's how!

In other news, you should see either a check in the mail or a bill credit on your LPEA bill this month, representing your 2022 CashBack from LPEA. This is one of the major benefits of being a member of a rural electric cooperative like LPEA. Any margins (aka profits) we make are returned to you, our members! Read on to learn more about this process and for the latest resources from LPEA.

Stay cool out there!
