All members will be enrolled in Operation Round Up as membership is established. Participation in Operation Round Up is voluntary and a member may opt-out of the community trust program at any time. If you choose to pay the itemized Operation Round Up amount, your electric bill is "rounded-up" to the next even dollar each month. Your extra pennies (one cent to 99 cents) will help support education, health, youth, home weatherization, emergency service and community services in your local area each month. Contributions go to the Cuivre River Electric Community Trust and are tax-deductible.
