Every dollar matters in education – especially when budgets are tight and costs are rising. Yet, many school districts are unknowingly overpaying thousands of dollars each year on their utility bills.
Electricity. Water. Gas. Waste services. These are necessary expenses – but they’re also one of the most common sources of overcharges, billing errors, and misapplied rates.
The good news? You don’t have to keep overpaying! A professional utility bill audit can help your district take control of costs, recover lost funds, and ensure long-term savings.
Why School Districts Are at Risk
School districts operate multiple buildings, campuses, and service accounts – each with its own set of utility meters, rate codes, and billing structures. This complexity creates opportunities for:
- Billing errors (wrong meter readings, duplicate charges)
- Incorrect rate classifications
- Unclaimed tax exemptions
- Demand charges that don’t match actual usage
These mistakes often go unnoticed and unchallenged for years.
What a Utility Audit Can Do
A utility bill audit is a deep-dive analysis of your district’s historical utility invoices, rate plans, and usage patterns. It’s designed to identify errors, overcharges, and missed opportunities for savings.
Here’s what an audit can uncover:
- Overbilling due to utility company errors
- Outdated or non-optimal rate plans
- Tax and fee exemptions you should be receiving
- Usage spikes or inefficiencies in specific buildings
What School Districts Gain
The money recovered from a utility audit can be redirected into what matters most:
- Classroom resources
- Technology upgrades
- Student support services
- Building improvements
