Late Billings
The due date for all regular bills should be twenty-one (21) days or the third (3rd) Friday after the billing date.
The Utility Delinquent Notice will be issued for all accounts that remain outstanding for 21 days or more. Our current late fee is $15.
This notice also notes the disconnection date should the bill not be paid.
Disconnection
The Meter Readers deliver the “Disconnection and Final Notice” on the forty-fifth (45) day or seventh (7th) Monday following the billing date.
Customers with delinquent accounts must pay their total balance due by 9 a.m. on the morning following the day they receive a “Disconnection and Final Notice”.
Once service is disconnected, a $40 reconnection charge is added to the account.
To restore service the unpaid balance, including late fee and reconnection charge must be paid in full.
