Budget Billing Enrollment Form

Levelized Budget Billing Plan

A rolling twelve (12) month average usage is used to calculate a budget bill. With the levelized budget plan, the monthly amount due each month will fluctuate based on the new average calculated.

Eligibility

Year-Round, Non-Seasonal Residential Customers are eligible to enroll in Budget Billing, with 12-months of billing history. Additionally, a customer may not have more than three (3) late notices in a twelve-month period or have been shut off for non-payment in the previous 12-months to be eligible for Budget Billing.

Enrollment Period

A customer may enroll at any time during the year and budget billing will commence the next billing period after enrollment.

Discontinuance of Budget Billing

The customer may discontinue Budget Billing at their discretion at any time during the year. Discontinuance will commence the next month after receipt of the discontinuance notice. When budget billing is discontinued with a debit balance remaining, that balance would be added to the next scheduled billing period and become due with the due date of that bill. If the budget billing is discontinued with a credit balance, that credit would be applied against the balance in the next scheduled billing period, and the billing owed after the applied credit would be due on the due date of that bill.

Termination due to Non-Payment

If an account is shut off for non-payment, the account will be removed from the Budget Billing Plan, and the entire balance, including the portion of balance not due, will now be due and payable prior to reinstatement of service. Additionally, the account would be removed from budget billing and not eligible to return to budget billing for a period of one (1) year.

Termination due to Late Payment

If an account receives four (4) Reminder Notices within a 12-month period, the account will be removed from Budget Billing. In addition, the entire balance, including the portion of balance not due, will now be due and payable on the next billing statement. The account must incur less than four (4) reminder notices in a 12-month period before Budget Billing could be reinstated.

Final Billing

If an account is closed due to account closure for moving out of the location, the entire balance, including the portion not associated with the budget bill, will become due. The deposit on file will then be applied to all balances and any remaining balance will be due upon receipt of the final bill.

Consumption Information

Information pertaining to the budget billing will be noted on the billing statement. Current calculated amount [based on Actual THERMS], budget portion billed for this month, and deferred balance will be displayed on the billing statement
