  • A member must have been served by GCEA at the member’s current residence for a period of 12 months.
  • The monthly installment is calculated based on the year’s average usage, helping to spread the typically higher bills of the colder months throughout the 12 month period.
  • Members can sign up for budget billing in June.
  • Members first budget bill due will be on the July bill.
