- Do I need to be home at the time of a reading?
- The only time you need to be available is if we need to gain
access to an inside meter or if we would need access to a gated or locked area.
In most cases, the meters are located on the outside of the building where we
typically have access.

- Can I sign up for the Budget Billing at the time that I request a new account?
- Yes, in most cases. We will review the last 12 months of actual
usage and provide you with a quote for your monthly average. If you are moving
to a recently built home we will ask you several questions about the home to
obtain an appropriate usage estimate.
