Do I need multiple sign-ins if I have more than one account?
No. Customers can add multiple accounts by clicking “Add account” on the Utility Billing Home page.
Will the Customer Portal show all of my accounts?
Yes. You can view and manage multiple accounts in the Customer Portal. If you do not see an account listed, simply click the “Add an account” button and enter the information for that account.
If I check the meter and then check the customer portal, will the numbers match?
Possibly. The meter will send updates to the customer portal hourly. Usage information may also be delayed in certain circumstances.
Why is my Customer Portal not showing any data?
