A missing paper bill does not extend your payment deadline. To avoid late payment surcharges, you should act as soon as you realize your bill is late (usually by the 10th or 12th of the month).
Locate an old bill: You will need your 14-digit Reference Number or 10-digit Consumer ID. These are found in the top-left or top-right header of any previous month's bill.
Check the typical due date: Most bills for a specific area are due around
the same date every month. If you don't have the bill by then, use the digital methods below immediately.
