PEPB provides a payment option for any customer who receives social security or disability payments.

Guidelines:

• Customers that are recipients of social security or disability are eligible for the program.
  
• The due date for customers in the program will be the 5th of the month. The gross amount will be charged after the due date with service subject to termination ten (10) days after the due date.
  
• To participate, we ask for proof of eligibility for social security or disability payments.
  
• This program can be terminated by the customer or PEPB with a thirty (30) day notice.
  

PEPB provides a “Budget Billing” program that allows customers to pay a 12 month average each month instead of the actual bill.


Guidelines:

• Customer must have had service at their present location for 12 consecutive months, with no past due amount present on the day of enrollment.
  
• Customers must enroll in April.
  
• The Customer’s current “budged” will be calculated using the previous 11 month’s history, plus the current balance and the current month’s usage, divided by 12. The budget amount will be rounded to the nearest dollar each month.
  
• All additional charges are added i.e. security light, taxes, waste management, heat pump loans, sanitation and surge protections.
  
• The agreement may be cancelled by giving 30 days written notice to the PEPB. The agreement is automatically renewed each anniversary date, unless canceled in writing by the PEPB or the customer.
  
• Budget bill will be handled in the same manner as regular billing in relation to disconnects, lost bills, postmark dating (for late charges), returned checks, cut-off procedures, etc.
• Late charges are charged on the Budget amount.
  
• Settlement month is March until the customer discontinues the plan or service is disconnected. At that time a final settlement will be calculated and the balance applied to the next (or final) bill due date.
  

Removal from Budged Billing:

• Regardless of actual usage each month, the budgeted amount is required payment.
  
• Once disconnected, a customer cannot re-enroll in the program until the total bill is paid in full. In any 12-month period a customer can re-enter the program only once, subject to approval by management.

Some meters have a zero painted on the dail in the location of the last digit to the right. This zero is always read as part of the meter reading and placed on the meter reading card

Any zeros that are showing to the left of the number are importatn also, and should be included in the reading that is placed on the meter reading card.

If your meter should happen to have only four digits, place the reading in the last four spaces on the right of the meter reading card.
