Customer Utility Service Bill Payment Policy
Customer bills will be mailed on the last business day of each month. Payment for the bills is due when the bills are mailed. The Postal Service delivers the customer bills therefore the Commission has no control over any customer receipt of the bills. The bill will be the only written notice customers will receive regarding their amounts owed for utility services provided by the Commission. Any customer payment not received in the billing office of the Commission by the end of the business day on the 15th of the following month will have a 25% penalty added to the full unpaid balance of those customers’ accounts.
For the convenience of our customers, we have a night deposit box located at the front of our building. The deposit box is checked every morning. If payment has been dropped in the night deposit box on the 15th, there will be no 25% penalty.
On the day that said penalties are added to customer accounts the Billing Department Staff of the Commission will begin making courtesy telephone calls to all customers who have not paid their bills in full by the 15th. These calls will inform these customers that their utility services will be subject to interruption (meter locked or removed) if their bills are not paid in full by the beginning of the 20th day of the month.
If nonpayment of any customer bill results in a Commission employee traveling to the customer’s residence to interrupt utility service said customer will be required to pay their bill in full plus a fee of $45.00 in order for the utility service to be restored. Furthermore, if the utility service of any customer has been interrupted for nonpayment the Commission cannot guarantee the utility service will be restored the same workday.
If for any reason customer bills are mailed after the last business day of any given month the payment period may be extended by the Commission by the same number of days the bills were mailed past the last business day of said month.
