Equal Payment Plan/Budget Billing
The Town of Smithfield's Equal Payment Plan is an easy way to spread out annual energy expense over a 12-month period. Billing under this plan will not result in any greater or lesser payments to the Town of Smithfield than would be the case with customary monthly billings. 

The Equal Payment Plan does allow customers to pay a regular monthly amount—avoiding peaks that come with either summer air conditioning or winter heating.

Sign up for the equal payment plan is every April. Upon approval and signature of agreement, payments begin the following month.

All persons interested must have good account payment history, and their account must be paid in full prior to beginning the Equal Payment Plan. The agreement remains in effect for 12 months. The customer or the Town of Smithfield may decide to end the payment option after the first year. The Town of Smithfield reserves the right to request a payment adjustment conference with the customer between anniversary dates if it appears that the amount billed and the amount paid will vary by a substantial amount. 

Please contact the Customer Service office at 919-934-1377 for inquiries regarding sign up for the Equal Payment Plan.
