Budget Billing

Sign up today for the Budget Billing Program! 

Budget billing is a free service that averages the highs and lows of your utility bills to give you an average amount to pay each month. Depending on the time of year, weather can cause your bill to change dramatically. Budget billing is a free service that eliminates those extreme peaks by leveling out your payment, so you pay roughly the same amount year-round. Some months you will pay less than your actual bill and some months you will pay more to make up that difference.

Here’s how it works

  • The budget billing program allows residents to make monthly payments based on the average of their previous 12 month's bills.
  • Each month the average monthly payment will change as the oldest month is removed from the average to be replaced by the most recent month's billed consumption. 
  • Each year in March accounts participating in the program will be settled, meaning that any outstanding balances will come due.
  • Any credit on the account will remain in the account's reserve for the upcoming program year. The program renewal will be automatic.

Eligibility

  • Residents must have been at their current residence and have a zero balance at the time of enrollment over the previous 12 months. 
  • If any payment is returned as insufficient, the participant will be removed from the program, and the outstanding balance on the account will be due.
  • Residents account must enroll / or be enrolled in e-billing (electronic billing via email).
  • If the account is assessed a nonpayment service fee due to nonpayment on account, the participant will be removed from the program, and the outstanding balance on the account will be due.
  • This program is only available for residential accounts, not commercial.
  • Renewal of budget billing membership is automatic.
  • To be removed from the program, please email the Utility Billing Customer Service Manager.
