Budget Billing

Budget

Budget Billing

Budget billing allows members to pay more balanced monthly payments.  

The budget amount is recalculated twice a year in April and October, and the new budget billing amount is reflected on the May and November billing statements. Any credit or debit at the time of recalculation will be divided over the next six months, increasing or decreasing the new recalculated budget billing amount.  

In order to participate in the Budget Billing Program, members must have at least six months of usage history with the Cooperative or be willing to have a budget amount based on prior usage at that service location. Additionally, they must have a good credit history and their account must be at a zero balance.


For more information on Budget Billing, please contact our office at (507) 373.6421.
