RICHMOND, Va., June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 1 million
Dominion Virginia Power customers are now enrolled in eBill —
Dominion's paperless billing program that is fast, easy, secure,

beneficial program," said Becky
Merritt, vice president of Customer Service. "With our
customers in mind and our continued focus on protecting the
