WHAT IS THE PI USAGE CUSTOMER PORTAL?


The purpose of this program is to give the utility user the opportunity to take a more active role in their pressurized irrigation consumption.

This program is for those responsible for the utility bill, which means if you have a landlord that pays the city utility bills you will be unable to participate. You will need a copy of your bill to refer to, it contains the appropriate information needed to sign up. The following links will aid you in the sign up and different features available on the customer portal.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES


  • Track your own usage daily. You can also go back and look at your usage history.
  • Set up alerts for daily usage goals.
  • Set vacation alerts to notify you if any usage is registered while you are away.
  • Rate tier alerts can be set to notify you when a property exceeds usage in a rate tier.
  • Customize nicknames to each of your meters, this is especially helpful if you own or manage multiple accounts.
  • Add additional recipients to be notified of the alerts.

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT?


  • Have your account information on hand
    • You will need the Account Number (excluding decimals) and Customer Name EXACTLY as it appears on your utility bill. If you are signed up for paperless billing you can find this information by logging into your account on Xpress Bill Pay.
