If the 10th lands on a weekend, customers will be given the following business day to make utility payments. A late fee of 10% of your total bill will be added after the 10th of each month. Final notices are mailed on the 11th (or on the 2nd business day following the 10th if it falls on a weekend). Services will be disconnected 5 business days after the due date if payment is not received.
Reconnect Fees: $50.00
All reconnections will be charged $50.00 regardless of time of day. Service will not be reconnected until payment of reconnection fee is paid in full. This fee will be due at the date of disconnect which is 5 business days after the due date.
