Budget Billing is Here - managing your bill just got a lot easier.

October 06, 2003

WASA is thrilled to introduce Budget Billing, our newest way to help you pay your bill and manage your monthly expenses. This exciting program allows you to divide your water bill into 12 equal monthly installments, so you'll pay the same amount, every time.

Budget Billing takes the guesswork out of paying your bill—no more billing surprises during seasons when your water usage is high. Plus, it minimizes the chance for late fees and other penalties, especially when you combine Budget Billing with automatic bill payment or automatic credit card payment. And Budget Billing makes sure you're always in the know. Your bill will even show you what you've used, versus the installment amount for which you've been billed.

To determine your monthly bill payment, WASA looks at your prior annual cost of water and sewer usage, and divides that number into 12 equal installments. We'll review your account mid-year and make any necessary adjustments, and also at the end of the year for renewal. Any credit or debit will simply be rolled into your next year's budget. The only time you'd receive a settle-up bill is if you discontinue using Budget Billing or WASA service.

To qualify, your account must be current and on monthly billing. Also, if you move, your budget amount may change. To learn more about Budget Billing, or to sign up, call our Customer Service Department at 202-354-3600.
