Seasonal changes can cause your monthly utility costs to fluctuate, but CWEPโ€™s Budget Billing Program can help make your payments more predictable. We look at your past 12 months of usage to calculate an average monthly amount, so you can pay the same amount each month and plan your household budget with confidence.
โœ… More predictable monthly payments
โœ… Easier household budgeting
โœ… Same great CWEP services, just fewer billing surprises!

Last Friday, some of our CWEP lineworkers competed in the 3rd Annual Missouri Public Utility Alliance Lineworker Rodeo, putting their skills to the test alongside lineworkers from across Missouri. Weโ€™re proud of our team for not only competing, but also helping make this yearโ€™s event a success, and especially proud to congratulate:

๐Ÿ† Noah Smith, CWEP Journeyman Lineman winning๐Ÿฅ‡ 1st Place in the Journeyman Egg Climb

Events like the Lineworker Rodeo showcase the skill, precision and commitment to safety our lineworkers bring to the job every day as they work to keep Carthage powered. Congratulations to Noah and all who competed, and thank you to MPUA for another great event!

Today, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the countless families and communities forever changed by that day.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the courage, sacrifice and unity shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

May we never forget those we lost, those who served, and the strength we found in standing together as one nation. โค๏ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™
