CUI Not For Profit and Election Announcement
1/26/23 Update: We still need a few candidates for the CUI election. This is a great opportunity to provide service to the community. This is an exciting time as CUI has transitioned to a Not-For-Profit company. Please consider joining the team that is responsible for managing the Not-For-Profit organization and responsible for enhancing water treatment & distribution operations to deliver the cleanest water possible. Below is the original announcement from 1/19/23. The election process and candidate application are included in the below message.
Happy New Year!
On December 16th, Choctaw Utilities Inc. (CUI) received its new certificate of incorporation, which changed the company’s status from For-Profit to Not-For Profit. This was the culmination of over two years of work, and valued community input. CUI has notified our accountant to immediately begin the process to realize savings on Excise Taxes, which is estimated at $15,000 annually. We have also filed the property tax exemption with the Madison County Auditor, which is estimated to save us an additional $35,000 annually. It will take some time for the county to process our application, but we are still tracking progress. New code of regulations and articles of incorporation can be found on our website at www.choctawwater.com.

Election Update: Will your vote count?
Alert: You must be a member in good standing in order for your vote to count. Please note Article II Section 4 B(1) from the CLPOA Constitution.
To reiterate the above statement, any balance that is older than 60 days will result in your vote not counting. This includes late fees, enforcement assessments such as speeding tickets, water payments, and your quarterly dues. Statements and/or invoices are sent out the first of every month to those with a balance for CLPOA and CUI. Please reference your January statement or call the office to check on your balance. The ballot counting will take place on 1/30/23. Any past-due payments will need to be processed by us prior to 1/30/23. If you mail, or have your bank process a past-due payment on the 29th or 30th, we won’t get it in time to process for the ballot counting.
Be sure your vote counts!
Thank you,
Mike Casimir
