Your Utility Bill

Red Bird bills in arrears from the 15th of the previous month to the 14th of the current month. Accordingly, your bill will be generated during the third week, and mailed within the fourth week of each calendar month. For example, you can expect the bill covering service between September 15th – October 14th to be mailed within the fourth week of October.

Bills are due on the 15th of the following month. For example, the bill covering service between September 15th – October 14th will be due November 15th. If applicable, late fees are assessed before the next billing cycle.

Here’s a guide to important information on your bill:

Account Number: This number should be included in any correspondence with the utility company and added to your check or money order.
Amount Due: This is the amount charged to all customers for utility services.
Previous Balance Due: The amount of unpaid previous charges as of the date of the current bill.
Due Date (“Total Due By” date): The account is considered delinquent and may be subject to disconnection if outstanding amount due is not paid by the due date. A late fee will be assessed on any unpaid delinquent balance.

If you leave your residence for an extended period of time and wish to avoid discontinuance of service, you may forward your mail or sign up for automatic payment.

Avoiding a Late Payment Charge or Discontinuance of Service +

Payment is considered delinquent after the due date. The due date will be the last business date of each month. A late fee will be applied if your bill is not paid by the due date. If your account becomes delinquent, you will be in jeopardy of discontinuance of services.

We will mail you a notice at least 10 days before we discontinue your service. If you receive a notice, please take immediate action to avoid service disruption.

Restoration of service will resume after payment of your bill or settlement is made. A shut-off fee and a reconnection fee will be applied and must be paid prior to reconnection.

If you are unable to pay the entire billed amount and wish to enter into a payment agreement, please call Customer Service at (855) 565-5273 to inquire about your eligibility. The payment plan will consist of payment of the current month’s billing plus a portion of the past due amount, due and payable on the current month’s due date.
