EREC Walnut Hill Office Reopens for Business

July 30, 2025

UPDATED STORY, CLICK HERE.

The Escambia River Electric Cooperative Office in Walnut Hill reopened Tuesday after being closed for nearly a year due to mold.

The utility office will operate weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., observing a lunch break from noon to 1:00 p.m. The office offers services that include bill payment and service requests for both electricity and water.

The contract post office remains at the location, but full postal services are not yet available. Old mail that was previously held at the McDavid Post Office was boxed Tuesday, but additional mail will not be delivered until a new contract is in place.

The EREC Walnut Hill office is located on Highway 99A next to Ernest Ward Middle School. The office had been closed since August 2024 due to mold; remediation has since been completed.
