Rural Electric Co-op Printing for Kansas Co-ops & Water Districts

Co-op Member Bills & Capital Credits

Kansas Electric Cooperatives is the statewide service organization for 26 distribution cooperatives and three generation and transmission cooperatives. Kansas Electric Power Cooperative's members alone serve more than 77,000 consumer-members — nearly 200,000 rural Kansans across two-thirds of the state — billing monthly and running the annual capital credit cycle.

What Baldwin produces: member statement forms with coupon stubs, capital credit allocation forms, unclaimed-funds notices, and matching envelopes. Electric co-op member bills & capital credit statements.

Rural Water District Bills

Kansas Rural Water Association maps 263 active rural water districts — the densest rural water landscape in the Plains cluster — billing metered water service across farm country on monthly or quarterly cycles, often on combined water and sewer statements.

What Baldwin produces: blank water bill forms on 20–24# bond, with MICR/scan-line coupon zones and window-envelope compatibility. Water & sewer bill forms.

Municipal Water Bills

More than 100 municipal utilities operate across Kansas's 105 counties, and every city of any size runs its own water and sewer billing — monthly statements with payment stubs, window envelopes, and the occasional coupon book for annual or semiannual cycles.

What Baldwin produces: the municipal water bill printing Kansas city utilities run each month — blank single-sheet statements and carbonless walk-in receipt forms. Water & sewer bill forms.

Watershed District Assessments

Seventy-five watershed districts organized under the Kansas Watershed District Act cover roughly 22% of the state's land, and the act allows them to levy taxes and assessments for flood control and conservation projects — annual assessments billed alongside or separate from the county tax roll.

What Baldwin produces: blank assessment forms and installment coupons with numbering, MICR-ready payment zones, and window envelopes. Special assessment bills & installment coupons.

County Property Tax Bills

Kansas's 105 counties collect property taxes through the county treasurer, with the full amount or the first half due December 20 each year — one concentrated annual run on forms that carry parcel data, exemptions, and payment coupons.

What Baldwin produces: blank tax bill forms and coupons with MICR-ready remittance zones, numbering, and window-envelope layouts. Property tax bill printing.

Delinquency & Shut-Off Notices

Co-ops, rural water districts, and city utilities run the escalation ladder — past-due reminders, final notices, and shut-off warnings — in daily, weekly, or monthly batches keyed to the billing calendar.

What Baldwin produces: single-part and carbonless multi-part notice forms on colored urgency stocks, with numbering and window envelopes. Delinquent, past-due & shut-off notice forms.

Production

Production is handled by our Midwest manufacturing partner in Indiana, with Baldwin managing specs, quality checks, and delivery. You work with one vendor; your artwork stays yours, your compliance stays with you.

Archived Specs & Committed Dates

Your approved layout, stock, numbering, and envelope format are archived, so the next cycle is a one-call reorder. Delivery dates are committed in advance — the December 20 tax deadline and the monthly utility cycles do not move.

The Book-Build Pattern

Baldwin prints one bill type today, adjacent documents tomorrow — one vendor, one archived spec file. Start with the member statement; add capital credit forms, rural water district bills, watershed assessments, and tax bills as each cycle is reviewed. Every new document joins the same archived spec file.

Quality Checks

Every run is verified against your approved artwork before it ships — registration, numbering, coupon zones, and stock. No surprises when the cycle opens.
