Perfect Payers Should Consider Levelized Billing

If you pay your Tideland bill on time every month, then you are a great candidate for our levelized billing program. The program is especially well suited for our “pay by draft” service using your bank account or debit/credit card.

Levelized billing takes much of the guesswork out of electric bill payments. Monthly payments are based on a rolling average so month to month payments fluctuate no more than a few dollars. Your electric bill must be current and remain current to be enrolled in the program.

Unlike fixed payment plans, our levelized billing program has no catch up month that can leave you with a large outstanding balance.
