Budget Billing

  • The PUD offers an equal monthly payment plan referred to as the budget plan.
  • Payments are based on the previous 12 months of usage and are adjusted annually based on actual usage.
  • Customers must have an active account at the same location for 1 year before starting on the budget plan.
  • The budget year begins in April, allowing customers to form a credit balance in the spring and summer months which will carry over to help pay higher winter billings.
  • Any usage over the estimate will be the responsibility of the customer and must be paid in April before beginning the next budget year.
  • This program is especially helpful to customers who are on a fixed monthly income.
  • Call after you receive your April billing statement to discuss starting the budget plan.
