All billing statements are calculated and printed on the first of each month. You should receive your bill in the mail a few days after it it processed. Payment due dates are on the 20th of each month. If the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment due date will be on the next business day.
Your monthly usage is calculated from an actual meter reading. We strive to keep usage calculations as accurate as possible. In rare cases where usage must be estimated, we use an average of the previous months to best approximate the total usage charges.

Customers may sign-up for the Budget Program in November and December. Accounts must be at least one year old and paid up to date in order to enroll.

Monthly balances are automatically deducted from a checking or savings account on the due date each month. Accounts must be paid in full to begin this program. Customers will receive a bill each month marked “AUTOMATIC PAYMENT – DO NOT PAY.” The form is found under the “Pay Options” button in the upper right hand corner of the home page. Go to the “Automatic Payments” section to download the ACH Payment form. Please include a voided check or deposit slip with the form to the BPW office. There are no fees for ACH payments.
Account numbers are specific to service addresses. Therefore, if you move to another service address your account number WILL change. This is especially important to know if you make payments through online banking or other electronic processes.
We recommend submitting the remittance (upper) portion of your bill along with payment. This enables us to post payments to your account more timely and accurately. It also ensures the correct account number is associated with your payment.
