Budget Billing

The Cooperative offers a budget payment plan to its residential customers. The plan offers a set monthly payment which is based on the residential member's actual usage for the previous twelve months. If you have not been served by the Cooperative during the previous year, the budgeted payment can be based on the actual use of the previous tenant.

In order to qualify for the budget payment plan you must have no outstanding or delinquent amounts owed. The budget payment amount is reviewed every April and October and adjusted accordingly.

You may choose to terminate the plan at any time by notifying us in writing and paying the balance of the account. The Cooperative may remove the member from the plan and withhold the plan from the member for up to twelve succeeding months should a chronically delinquent member fail to pay the amount specified in the budget payment plan.

To sign up for the Budget Payment Plan contact our billing department at 1-800-950-2667 or download Budget Billing Plan Agreement.
