Degree Day Update

The Degree Day update program updates the degree day reading, percentage left, and gallons left for all customers with a Delivery Type 2 (Keep-Full). The percentage and gallons left decrease every day when the degree day is updated. A degree day reading that was entered incorrectly can be undone if no Delivery Tickets have been posted to the new reading. The Degree Day program will automatically be updated for SDD customers.
