As the PUD continues to grow, so does the need for better information availability to our customers. These enhancements are ways we can provide a higher level of customer satisfaction for the majority of our customers.
All of these changes are within the normal operating budget of the PUD. There will not be a rate increase with regards to these changes.
The information you see in the app and on the website is shown in real-time.
However, if you keep your app or web version open for an extended time, you should refresh the page by selecting a new option in order to ensure the information is current.
