Let’s Talk Meter Reading and Estimated Bills

NO ONE-PARTICULARLY NIPSCO -LIKES ESTIMATED BILLS But sometimes they are necessary because of circumstances beyond our control. WHY WE SEND ESTIMATED BILLS We issue estimated bills to help keep budgets in line—yours and ours. Most people would rather receive a bill each month, even if the service usage is estimated, rather than one large bill after the meter is read. WHY METERS MAY NOT BE READ 1. Inclement weather. 2. Meter inside and customer not home. 3. Dogs not confined. 4. Meters covered with snow and ice. 5. Other circumstances beyond our control. HOW YOUR BILL IS ESTIMATED An estimated bill is n,ot a figure picked out of the air. It is computed from your actual past energy usage. The formula also includes changes in customer energy consumption based on weather conditions and other factors in your general area. YOU PAY FOR ONLY THE ENERGY YOU USE The difference between a bill based on estimated usage and your actual usage—whether higher or lower —will be reflected on your next bill, once an actual meter reading has been obtained. You pay only for the energy you use—no more, no less.

EQUAL PAYMENT PLAN-ONE WAY TO AVOID ESTIMATED BILLS Under our Equal Payment Plan, you pay the same amount each month. Your anticipated annual service usage—based on your past consumption —is divided into 12 equal monthly payments. The budget period ends in May each year. Any difference between the total amount billed during the year and the actual costs based on meter readings will be adjusted on your May service bill. Ask your local NIPSCO representative for more information. OTHER POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES We’ve been listening to your complaints about estimated billing and we’re studying several possibilities, including: 1. Meeting with union representatives to discuss improvements or changes in meter reading. — 2. Use of a remote electronic meter reading system operating on telephone circuits. 3. Use of a femote electronic meter reading system operated by computer from vans or aircraft. OUR JOB-IS TO SERVE YOU As your energy company, we are interested in providing you with the best possible service. If you have any questions about meter reading, estimated bilM —or our equal payment plan—give us a call or stop in at your nearest NIPSCO customer service office. We’ll do our very best to help you.
