The Benefits

One convenient feature of paperless billing is, since you receive your bill by e-mail each month, you will be able to access your bill any time, any place, even if you are out of town. You can even access your bill on your iPhone or Android. When you enroll in paperless billing, each month you will receive an e-mail stating that your bill is ready to to be viewed online. Click on the link, log in to your account and you can view your bill and pay it online. No writing a check or hunting for a stamp.

Another benefit is it’s a secure way for you to receive your bill because it leaves no paper trail of your account. Our site is secure and password protected.
