If you are using the Utility Billing auto pay please NOTE: Selecting a date between the 8th and 16th is recommended to avoid a late fee. Bills are processed on the first FRIDAY of the month, this can range from the 1st to the 7th of the month. If you select a recurring date prior to the 8th, you may not have a bill due, so no payment will be processed that month, resulting in a late fee. If your balance is zero on the date you select to draft your payment, there will be no payment until the next month, resulting in a late fee. By enrolling in Auto Pay, you understand that your account will automatically be drafted on the same day every month. If you schedule your payment after it is due, you may incur a late penalty.
