(KLZA)-- If you’re anticipating a budget crunch as winter exits and bills for home heating arrive, March 31 is an important date to observe.
That’s when the annual Nebraska Cold Weather Rule ends and rules governing payment arrangements, energy assistance and bill-related service interruptions change until next fall.
Natural gas utility Black Hills Energy is encouraging customers to call the company before April 1 to explore the company’s billing options and payment plans.
