Auditorium
The operations building in Laurel, located at 1863 Highway 184, includes an auditorium for use by the members – free of charge. It seats approximately 150 people. The auditorium includes tables and chairs, a stage, a kitchen, and a lectern.
When the auditorium is not needed by the Association or organizations associated with the Association, it will be available to the members and employees for civic, service, and community meetings or events. Organizations and businesses may use the facility for training and meetings.
The auditorium shall not be used for commercial profit. Individuals and/or organizations will be prohibited from using the facilities if admittance fees are charged and/or monetary gains are involved in the planned activity.
Political or controversial meetings that could result in criticism of the Association will not be allowed. Proms and school dances are prohibited. Parties, showers, weddings or wedding receptions, anniversaries, and birthday celebrations are also prohibited. Cameras are monitored to ensure all rules and regulations are upheld.
Dixie Electric Power Association reserves the right to deny the use of the auditorium to any individual or organization. Also, Dixie Electric has the right to cancel reservations without prior notice if the Association needs the facility for power restoration during an outage or for other association use. The Association may cancel the use of the auditorium due to excessive noise or other disruptive or destructive activity.
Individuals or organizations failing to comply with any of the governing rules and regulations may be denied future use.
Dixie Electric Power Association is not responsible for money or other property lost or left in the auditorium. View or download the agreement here: Facility Reservation Agreement.
Appointments to reserve the facility are required. Please contact Melanie Driskell at 601-425-2535 to make an appointment to reserve the facility. Reservations can be made up to 12 months in advance and require a $250 deposit. Proof of Dixie Electric membership is required.
Energy Audits
The residence is audited for energy consumption, and recommendations are made on how to conserve energy and lower one’s electric bill. Energy audits are provided by the Association at no cost to the member for the first audit. We highly suggest completing our online energy audit prior to having an employee visit your home.
Medical Alert List
Dixie Electric maintains a Medical Alert list for members that have a life-threatening medical situation. The purpose of the Medical Alert list is to alert us that turning off a member’s electrical service for non-payment of the electric bill may create a life-threatening medical situation for a member or another permanent resident of the member’s household. Members need to submit a Medical Alert form completed by a physician in order to be included on the list. Please download the Medical Alerts form from the Forms & Documents section on this page.
Dixie Electric does not guarantee continuance of service if, in the Association’s opinion, payment has not been made in a reasonable amount of time.
