Budget Payment Plan

Manage your monthly utility bill amounts using the Budget Payment Plan. The plan will help balance seasonal highs and lows of your utility bill while your monthly payment remains the same each month.

How it works

We calculate your budget payment amount by taking the total of your annual energy costs for the previous 12 months, divide the total by 12, and add an energy variance percentage. The plan is to establish a credit balance during the lower energy use months that will apply toward those months with higher energy use. We will review your account periodically and can make adjustments to your budget payment amount if there is a significant change in your utility usage.

Two types of plans

Customers with ONLY Gas service
Enrollment Period: June 1 to August 31
Settlement Month: May

Customers with more than one utility service
(electric, gas, water / wastewater, irrigation, trash and recycling)
Enrollment Period: November 1 to January 31
Settlement Month: October
