About Our Old Bill Our service bills are "unbundled," or itemized. Your total bill is broken out into separate line items for various services so you can see the costs for such services. The image of a 'sample' bill is shown below as an example with an explanation of the charges immediately following. To view current prices, please review Service Rates and Supply Costs. Any charges are only illustrative examples and are not a forecast of the market price.
