Announcements

Here are some important steps to take when we launch SmartHub on January 17:

  • Account number: Use your account number to register for SmartHub. You can find your account number on your monthly bill or contact the office at 319-824-5251 and we can assist you.
  • Re-register for your online account: We recently had a system upgrade that requires all of our members who have online accounts to register again. The new system greatly increases the amount of information you have access to with regards to your account, including your energy daily, and hourly energy usage.
  • Update your online payment options: If you were previously paying your bill with us automatically with your debit or credit card, you will need to re-enter your payment information. You can do this once you register for your online account. If you were paying with an automatic bank draft from your checking account, that information has transferred over and no action is needed.

Setting Up SmartHub: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SmartHub web portal and mobile app?

Both platforms are part of our online account management system for members.

Yes. All critical information is encrypted in every transaction run and no personal information is stored on your phone or tablet.

Mobile devices do offer you the ability to store your login information for apps installed on the device. If you choose to store your login information, any person who has access to your mobile device can access your account.

Where can I find my account number?

You can find your account number on a printed bill statement mailed to your residence or business.

I'm being prompted to sign up for paperless billing when I log in. Do I have to sign up or re-register for it?

No. Paperless billing is provided as an option for your convenience. If you do not sign up for the option in SmartHub, you will continue to receive a monthly bill in your mail.

When we upgraded our systems, those who were previously enrolled in paperless billing were not able to be carried over, so while we understand it’s inconvenient, we do appreciate your understanding of having to enroll again.

You can choose to participate in paperless billing, which sends bill statements to the email address on your account, and you will no longer receive a copy of your bill in the mail.

Here’s how to change your preference to participate in paperless billing:

On the website:

  • Click on My Profile
  • Click on Update My Paperless Settings.
  • Choose your paperless preference

On the app:
