CSU Budget Billing Helps Even Utility Bills
Did you know that CSU budget billing helps even utility bills? Colorado Springs Utility's budget billing is a free program that makes it easier to plan your budget because utility bills are spread out evenly throughout the year. Budget Billing doesn't reduce overall utilities expenses. Instead, it averages payments out over 12 months, so you know what your payment will be ahead of time. This makes planning your budget easier. CSU will still read your meter every month, so you never pay more than you use. The new bill you get shows actual utilities used and the current payoff balance for the year. To make sure you are not overcharged, CSU reviews accounts quarterly by comparing the utilities used to the dollars billed, and then balances the account. If there is more than a 25% change up or down, the monthly payment is adjusted. To read more about how CSU Budget Billing helps even utility bills, click here.
