What is the Customer Portal?
The Customer Portal provides you the convenience to access your account information online with a username and password. By signing up for the Customer Portal, you are also enrolling in Paperless Billing. Alternatively, you may select the "One-Time Bill Payment" option to bypass the Portal and pay your bill (requires 12-digit CU Account Number). There is no charge for viewing your online account information or for paying your bill online. Please note: you will no longer log in directly to the "Usage" portal. You will now log-in to the "Billing Portal" and click a link to see usage information.
