Enroll in budget billing

Enjoy a consistent and predictable monthly utility payment throughout the year with our Budget Billing program. To mitigate the spikes in your utility bill caused by seasonal changes, budget billing calculates your average monthly usage, based on the past 12 months, and allows you to pay the same amount month after month. After 12 months on budget billing your account will true-up and a new budget amount will be calculated for the next year.
