Budget billing will be 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 Average Monthly Payment (AMP) program allows residents to make monthly payments based on the average of their previous 12 months' 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 April, accounts participating in AMP will be settled, meaning that any outstanding balances will come due. Any credit in an AMP account will remain in the account's reserve for the upcoming year. Renewal of AMP membership is 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.
- Residents must sign up for E-bills and Bank Drafting. 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.
- This program is only available for residential accounts, not commercial.
