How often do I need to make payments?
Payments are determined by the customer and can be made daily, weekly or monthly in order to maintain a credit balance.

Prepaid accounts must maintain a credit balance to avoid disconnection.
How are Prepaid accounts billed?
Prepaid account balances are calculated daily. Prepaid customers will not receive a monthly bill.
Are notifications sent?
Yes. Prepaid customers are required to set up an account in SmartHub and have a valid email address and/or a valid cellular phone number on the account in order to receive important information regarding the Prepaid electric service, including low account balance notices, disconnect notices and to view the energy delivered by the District to the customer.
What if I don’t receive a notification?
The Prepaid customer is solely responsible for maintaining current contact information in SmartHub in order to receive notifications. Failure to receive notifications does not exempt the service from disconnection.
Can I choose to move to non-Prepaid billing at any time?
Prepaid Electric Service can be converted back to a non-Prepaid electric service at any time.
