Can deposits be waived for owners and when is a deposit refunded?

If you are an owner, your deposit will be eligible for refund after 12 months of continuous service unless:

Refunds are not automatically processed, please call the office to request a refund.

A property owner may have the deposit requirement waived by providing a letter of credit, including payment record, from another utility company. The deposit may also be waived if the property owner signs up for automatic bank draft payments. Deposit waivers are not offered to those renting their homes.

What is the utility's billing cycle?
Bills are issued monthly and there are four billing cycles every month. Each statement typically covers from 27 to 33 days. Due dates vary according to your billing cycle.
