Payment
Options Section
BTES offers several convenient ways
to pay your bill.
Bank Draft
You may set up an automatic
bank draft so that you never have to
worry about
writing a check or missing a payment
because you’re on vacation. Customers
bank accounts are drafted the current
amount due on the due date. Click here for the bank draft form. Simply complete the form and return it to BTES. For bank
draft customers who are interested in contributing
to Help Your Neighbor each month, click

Check by Phone
To pay your bill by
phone, call 423-574-1729. You will

you through the process. All the information
you need is imprinted on your check.
