Residential Accounts
There are 2 different types of billing for residential customers: traditional or prepay.
Traditional
With written permission from the potential account holder, a credit check would need to be processed through Equifax. A credit score of 690 or above, all security deposits would be waived. A credit score below 690, deposits must be made before activating the account.The amounts are:
$300
Electric
$25
Water
$25
Wastewater
Prepay (Electric service only)
The account holder would be responsible for monitoring their usage through the MyBPU app. Usage amounts would be deducted from the prepay balance as it is used. A $50 payment is needed to start the account. If the customer needs water and wastewater service, the traditional billing method and charges would apply.
Business / Commercial Accounts
Security deposits vary based on property location and will be discussed during account setup.
Connection Fee
All residential and business/commercial customers are required to pay a one-time connection fee when establishing electric service. A $25 connection fee will apply to any customer starting service at an existing location. Please note that this fee is charged per account being connected.
To help us process your request as quickly as possible, please submit the required documentation and let us know your preferred billing option.
