Are you scratching your head when you look at your utility bill, wondering what all those charges really mean? Well, the city's Utilities Department is opening its doors and inviting residents for some face-to-face clarity with a side of breakfast. Dubbed "Breakfast with Your Bill," these sessions offer a casual Q&A environment where you can grill the experts with your utility bill questions and learn about water rates, fees, shut-offs, and those elusive AMI meters, according to the City of Englewood.
Two opportunities are available for those wanting to dive into the depths of their utility bills, one at the Civic Center Community Room on Wednesday, August 27 from 9-10 a.m., and another at the Grand Ballroom at Malley Rec Center on Thursday, September 25, same time; if you’ve been facing confusion now's the chance to clear it up, you can even sign up for online billing and auto-pay on the spot. Residents looking to make the most out of these breakfast sessions are encouraged to bring a smartphone or tablet to ease the sign-up process for online services, with team members standing by to walk you through it step by step.
If you're interested in this event, you won't be alone. There's a growing trend of consumers seeking a better understanding of their bills, and the desire for transparent, direct communication from service providers has never been higher. The Utilities Department is leaning into this by breaking down barriers and answering directly from the source.
