Tampering with your meter or any Tri-County Electric Cooperative equipment is dangerous and illegal. Anyone found gaining unauthorized access to meters or power supply equipment will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

When meter tampering, equipment tampering, or trespassing on cooperative-owned equipment or easements is suspected or confirmed, the member will be charged a $2,500 tampering fee plus all costs associated with replacing or repairing damaged electrical equipment and restoring service, as stated in our Service Fee tariff.
