The meter dials move as they measure kilowatt-hours used for electricity or therms as natural gas flows through the meter. To ensure accurate billing, your meter must be read regularly. If we cannot get an actual meter reading, we will estimate your gas or electric usage and identify the reading as an estimate on your next monthly bill.
Estimates are very reliable.
They are based upon records of past service use, and take into account existing weather conditions during the billing period. Any difference between estimated and actual usage is automatically corrected at the next actual meter reading. Map Copyright 2000 Central Illinois Light Company. All rights reserved.
