Any usage over your baseline allowance will be charged at a higher price.
High Usage: An increased price per kWh whenever electricity usage exceeds four times the Baseline Allowance (Tier 1) in a billing period. This charge does not apply to
DWR bond charge: Recovers the cost of bonds issued by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to purchase power to serve electric customers during the California energy crisis. DWR bond charges are collected on behalf of DWR and do not belong to PG&E.

Misconceptions
Misconceptions about the Utility Bill form can lead to confusion and incorrect assumptions. Here are six common misunderstandings:
- Utility Bill forms are only for residential customers. Many believe these forms are exclusive to homeowners or renters. In reality, businesses and commercial properties also use them to track utility usage and payments.
- Filling out the Utility Bill form is optional. Some individuals think they can skip this step without consequences. However, accurately completing the form is often necessary for proper billing and service continuity.
- All utility companies use the same form. People often assume that there is a universal Utility Bill form. In fact, different utility providers may have their own specific formats and requirements.
- The form is only needed once. A common belief is that once the form is submitted, it does not need to be filled out again. In truth, updates may be necessary if there are changes in service or ownership.
- Utility Bill forms are difficult to understand. Many think these forms are overly complex. While they may include specific terms, most are designed to be straightforward and user-friendly.
- Submitting the form guarantees service. Some people think that simply submitting the Utility Bill form ensures immediate utility service. However, other factors, such as payment history and account status, can affect service activation.
How to Use Utility Bill
Completing the Utility Bill form is a straightforward process. This form is essential for managing your utility services, ensuring that your account is up to date and that you receive accurate billing. Follow these steps to fill it out correctly.
- Start with your personal information. Write your full name in the designated section.
- Provide your current address. Include street number, street name, city, state, and zip code.
- Enter your account number. This number can typically be found on a previous utility bill.
- Fill in the utility provider’s name. Ensure you spell it correctly to avoid any issues.
- Indicate the type of utility service. This may include electricity, water, gas, or other services.
- Write the date of the bill you are referencing. This helps in keeping track of your payments.
- State the amount due. This figure should be clearly listed on your utility bill.
- Sign and date the form. Your signature confirms that the information provided is accurate.
Once you have completed the form, review it for any errors before submitting it to your utility provider. This will help ensure a smooth processing of your account.
