The monthly budgeted amount is calculated by dividing the total of your past twelve (12) months of electric bills by (10). It is then rounded up to the nearest 5-dollar increment.
The final month (April) could be higher or lower than the monthly budgeted amount and must be paid in full in order for the account to roll over into the next year's budget program.
Refunds for over payments will not be paid out, unless the customer has moved from our lines.
