FAQ

Are there any deposits or start-up fees?
For residential accounts, we generally do not require a deposit. If all services at an address are in service, there is no connection or start-up fee. Fees may apply, however, if it's necessary for field personnel to turn on one or more services at an address.

If my payment is made after the due date, is there a late fee?
We do not currently charge a fee for payments received after the due date. However, a $20 fee is assessed to disconnect services for nonpayment, even if a customer chooses to make an on-the-spot payment in order to keep services on. We also have separate trip and reconnect charges. A $30 reconnect fee is charged after disconnection due to nonpayment - add an additional $10 if reconnection is required after hours.

Where can I make my payment?
We offer a variety of payment options for your convenience. You can also use the Pay Your Bill link at the top of the page to make an online payment right now.
