Cleveland Utilities launching Project Round Up

Ken Webb

CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Cleveland Utilities, in partnership with United Way of Bradley County, will roll out a new customer-funded community assistance program at the end of December.

If all goes as planned, Project Round Up will be initiated with the late December billing cycle, said Ken Webb, vice president of the financial division for Cleveland Utilities.

Customers’ bills will be rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the difference will go to United Way for distribution to Neighbors in Need, a program administered by The Caring Place.

Though the program is voluntary, customers are automatically included unless they opt out. A flier describing the program will be included with the December bills.
