Why is my bill higher than last month?
A: Your water or electric consumption has probably increased. Check to make sure you do not have any malfunctioning appliances or using any additional heat or cooling in the past few months. For more
information, please call our business office at (218) 485-4100 to speak with a Customer Service
Representative. We also offer to our customers the ability to rent a Kill-A-Watt which is a device you can
plug into the wall and plug your appliances into and it will measure their usage.
B: Have you updated your appliances and light bulbs to energy saving ones? You could replace all of those
60-100w incandescent bulbs for LEDs that use a fraction of the wattage for the same light dispersal. Change
out that old clunker of a washing machine for a new Energy Star rated one. And the best part? Besides all
the energy savings, we offer REBATES!
C: Additionally, if your payment was received after the bills were calculated, it will not have been applied to your
account and therefore not reflect in your current bill total.
