-
Meter number of the meter at the location. The meter number is the silver tag on the meter with the numbers engraved on it.
-
If the applicant already has service with CFEC, they will need to provide their current account number.
-
If the applicant is not currently a member, they will need to complete a membership form in one of the CFEC offices or have it mailed to the Chiefland office.
-
If the applicant purchased the home, CFEC requires proof of ownership such as a warranty deed. Applicant will also need to provide their license.

If the applicant is renting the home or property, CFEC will need a copy of the lease agreement. In the event the applicant does not have a lease agreement, CFEC will provide them with an Owner's Authorization form that must be completed by the owner of the property.
