The Customer Charge is an industry standard charge to collect some of the fixed cost of electric services. These fixed costs may include some of the cost of administration services, monthly billing and meter reading, tree trimming, and some of the carrying costs for transformers, wires, poles, meters and other infrastructure used to provide the customer electrical service.
The use of a Customer Charge provides a stable source of revenues to provide for the supply of electricity to all customers. This charge allows the City of Seaford to sustain our distribution system and continue to provide reliable electric service.
